The listing was clear, “3,400 Images of Men,” and the price was right, about $20. So I bought it along with “2,500 Vietnam War Images.” The same guy, I would later learn it was a man, was selling an archive of 25,000 images on eBay. The first order arrived on two separate compact discs. I pulled out an old computer to access the files. Each disc contained exactly what it said and I bought the entire collection.

So many questions. Where have these images been? What path have they traveled to reach my computer? My rules for making the book were straightforward: use every image, place them left to right, top to bottom, until each spread was covered. Continue until the CD was empty. No alterations or edits. The size of the final book would be determined by the quantity of images on each CD. Each book represents one CD of images.
