"The original edition of Doctor Mister Miracles's guide to miracle-making, a manual (abridged) consisted of five unique copies. I made each copy using pages from a set of books found at an antiques shop in Pittsboro, North Carolina, which I disassembled, altered, reordered and re-bound. This facsimile edition uses scans of pages from four of the original copies."--Page 3 of cover.
Artist statement from Josh Hockensmith: "Doctor Mister Miracles ... is a round little enigma in a suspiciously familiar hat which shall not be named for fear of prosecution. He shows up periodically to embody my own and readers' inchoate ambitions and devilishly mischievous tendencies. He has trampled cities, journeyed to the afterlife and back, delivered a commencement address that he borrowed from a more famous author (with the author's generous permission), and rescued a clinically dead river through his avatars on Earth. In [this book] ... he partially interprets a Chinese text into Enochian, the language of the angels discovered in the 17th century by English naturalist/miraclist, John Dee. I've partially translated the Enochian in turn ... into English.--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, viewed October 20, 2015.
Artist statement from Josh Hockensmith (continued): "I created the original edition by disassembling five old acupuncture manuals, altering the pages, and then reassembling them into five copies of a transformed book. This larger edition consists of my favorite version of each page, scanned and then commercially printed by a local print shop in Chapel Hill, NC"--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, viewed October 20, 2015.
