This book, consisting of three volumes plus one supplementary volume, extracts manuscript data from all three issues of Provoke at the time, and faithfully reproduces the photographic images. The supplementary volume also translates the text into English and Chinese. In addition, the dust jacket that was said to have been included only with the second issue has been perfectly reproduced.
