Notes:
Portions of Building Stories were previously published. Some appeared in Ware's Acme Novelty Library #18 (2007), which itself contained material from The New Yorker, nest magazine, Kramers Ergot, The Chicago Reader, Hangar 21 Magazine, and McSweeney's Quarterly Concern. The story "Touch Sensitive" was originally published in the McSweeney's iPad app in September 2011. The New York Times Magazine ran a seven-month series from 2005-2006 that was reproduced in the box set in the form of a Little Golden Book.
The completed book was published in box form, and is made up of fourteen printed works, including cloth-bound books, newspapers, broadsheets and flip books. The individual pieces are designed to be read in any order, though the inside of the box includes navigational diagrams to assist the reader, with a note that reads "everything you need to know to read the new graphic novel Building Stories." In all, the box contained four broadsheets, three magazines, two strips, two pamphlets, a four-panel storyboard, a hardcover book, and a book designed to mimic the Little Golden Books style. Includes over fifty pages of new material.
This index represents each printed work in the box as an "issue" of a series.
Thanks to the Acme Novelty Archive for most of the listed reprint credits.
Box set price- 50.00 USD / 55.00 CAD
