Notas
The book is most famous for its sandpaper dustwrapper. Debord and Jorn wanted to use a material that would give away whether or not the reader held the book in his hands by leaving scratches. Provenance: the estate of Constant Anton Nieuwenhuys. With a light brown envelope with in ms. on front: "Asger Jorn. Guy Debord - Mémoires" in Constant's hand, "L'Anti Légende du Siècle" in unidentified hand and "Pour constant, qui s'y retrouvera. Jean-Clarence [Lambert]" (all in pen and black or blue ink).
