Method:

  1. Source file was from project Gutenberg.
  2. Extracted to a notepad file.
  3. Loaded into Microsoft Excel
  4. Counted through formulas per chapter.
  5. Using Gimp and Photoshop to put it back together.
  6. Listed on 24booktoprint here.

Concept:

  • Every letter is it’s own concept and devoid of meaning.
  • Once we put this back together it loses the codec and language.
  • So apart from just the raw count of the letters in a pile, it doesn’t get any more basic than this.
  • This is the genesis of the new work and the basis for everything that follows.
