ETHEREAL OPEN NETWORK ARCHIVE / NEAR the EDGE editions
MAIL ORDER 2010

My mail art archive E.O.N. (Ethereal Open Network) was started in 1977 and is now stored in various rooms of my house in Viareggio, visits on appointment only. I have tried to preserve, thoughout the years, a few copies of each book, record or publication that I produced (artistamps, postcards, leaflets, etc.). Some of these publications have been sold out for decades and can only be found with some luck through collectors’ lists or on eBay. A few items, listed in this leaflet, are still available in small quantities. Vittore Baroni
