The cuff of love. Volume 1 by Nikolai Oleinikov (1898–

1937) was produced by Karasik in a 37 copy edition.

The text and illustrations are printed in offset on six

folded sheets of paper (24 pages). These are stitched

into a white cover with a black dust jacket. On the right

hand side of the book there is a triangular cutout in

which a cuff link has been placed. Some of these are

book is kept in a black slipcase lithographed with violet

stripes. The book and slipcase thus give the impression

of a real sleeve with a cuff. It of course is important

to note that in Oleinikov’s days cuffs were used to jot

down notes on.
