“Over the past few years, Dexter Sinister has been interested in exploring contemporary publishing in its broadest, most exploded sense. These writings were previously published online as PDFs in the Library at www.dextersinister.org. They were primarily written by Dexter Sinister or by one of a circle of regular collaborators, often for their house journal Dot Dot Dot, or as supplements to other books or exhibitions. Although never intended as a set, a number of generic themes emerged, such as abstraction, mathematics, logic, and cooperation.” –from the publisher

Every Day the Urge Grows Stronger to Get Hold of an Object at Very Close Range by Way of Its Likeness collects these writings as an unbound collection of 14 folders. Presented in this fashion, Dexter Sinister proposes the idea of each edition being bound by different library’s binders, thereby creating a varied, unique approach to publishing.

More recently, these have been recollected with additional material as the bound book Portable Document Format.
