It is undetermined as to whether any other personally bound 'listings' were distributed, if any. We are aware of a scarce 1986 catalog in wrappers, which doesn't appear to contain the Russian avant-garde collection. Founded by Ruth and Marvin Sackner in 1979 in Miami Beach, Florida, the Sackner Archive currently holds the largest collection of concrete and visual poetry in the world, now housed at the University of Iowa Libraries Special Collections. .
