Description. "Plagiarism®."One of our most 
popular issues, and certainly one of our best 
reads, the current number comprises an exposition 
on the arresting notion of plagiarism as a 
positive artistic technique, especially as 
inspired by the Neoists and Stewart Home. Amid 
the memory of such witticisms as "Plagiarism 
saves time," we find, in the outer margins of 
each page, a series of essays, each exploring an 
individual's opinion or vision about plagiarism 
as an impetus and subject for creative works. The 
handwritten text used for a cover image typifies 
the mental puzzling and gamesmanship in which 
many in our then-circle of participants engaged. 
Written by Christopher Erin, it takes no 
prisoners and leaves not a subatomic particle 
untouched in its amusing over-reach. Not to be 
outdone, the Tape-beatles took the opportunity of 
this issue to unveil their new registered 
trademark - on the world "Plagiarism®" itself. 
Significant texts by such deep thinkers as Harry 
Polkinhorn and Ralph Johnson (among many others) 
fill the inch-wide margins with texts. Similarly 
important graphic works for the main space of the 
pages are provided by the likes of John Stickney, 
Steven Perkins, and others.

Contributors include. Ll. Dunn, Anatoly Zyyxx, 
A.1 Waste Paper Co., John Stickney, Harry 
Polkinhorn, Ge[of Huth], Thad Metz, The 
Tape-beatles, John Eberly, Alessandro Aiello, 
Christopher Erin, Arturo Giuseppe Fallico, Janet

Ralph Johnson, Steve Perkins, Bob Grumman,

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde 
Archive serves as an electronic repository for a 
complete collection of PhotoStatic Magazine, 
PhonoStatic Cassettes, Retrofuturism, and Psrf, 
(as well as related titles). Issues are posted as 
PDF files, at more or less regular intervals, in 
reverse chronological order to form a 
chronological mirror image of the original 
series. When the first issue, dating from 1983, 
is finally posted in several year's time, then 
this electronic archive will be complete.
