Why was the mushroom invited to the party? Because he was such a fun-gi.

Edition:

A particular form or version of a published book.

Sedition:

Conduct inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state.

Clive Philpott, once in charge of book acquisitions at MOMA, stated that artists’ books were not artists’ books unless they were part of an edition of at least 100 copies. His opinions are often still embraced, particularly in academic environs.

A few activities that have been defined as sedition by the United States government: 'secret machinations' (Alien and Sedition Act, 1789); 'teaching, suggesting, defending or advocating any criticism of the government,' including to 'utter, print, write or publish' such ideas (Espionage Act, 1917). More recently, there was 'domestic terrorism,' which could easily be interpreted to include environmental and anti-globalization activism (The Patriot Act, 2001). While sedition can consist of overt action, it can also be furtive, undermining from within.
