Poésie de mots inconnus is a book from 1949 made by Ilia Zdanevich (aka ILIAZD) after he moved to France from Georgia. It features Russian and Italian futurists, German dadaists, surrealists, and people from other avant-garde movements (Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Miró, Magnelli, etc). It was a reaction against lettrism, which ILIAZD saw as mediocre mimicry.

From Fun With Your Typewriter, a book by Madge Roemer from 1956. Half of the book consists of detailed instructions on how to produce the works, sort of like software for humans. We covered the book back in 2012 but since then the book has been made available on archive.org thanks to Marcin Wichary. <3
