The Uses of Literacy [2nd Edition] by Jeremy Deller.

This copy has been signed by the artist Jeremy Deller. 

"The Uses of Literacy" is a collaboration between the artist Jeremy Deller and fans of the Welsh rock group, The Manic Street Preachers. Soliciting for contributions via advertisements in the music press, Jeremy Deller has collected drawings, paintings, poetry and prose from the young fans. The Manic Street Preachers have always emphasised the importance of art and literature to the band - using quotations on their record sleeves, merchandising and as part of their live shows - as an escape from the mundane. Referencing Richard Hoggart's seminal study "The Uses of Literacy", Jeremy Deller reveals the complex relationship between the audience and performer and the art and literature that unites a socially and geographically displaced group of individuals.
