"This publication accompanies 'Rolywholyover, a circus' for museum by John Cage, organized by Julie Lazar at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles"--Colophon.

Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Art Tower Mito Contemporary Art Center, Mito-shi, Japan; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
"Designed in consultation with Cage himself. The box contains an exceptionally wide range of materials, printed in different formats, often on translucent paper, which can be read in any order. The publication accompanies a major exhibition ... conceived by Cage as a 'composition for museum.' The box includes reprints of texts that Cage found useful and inspiring, as well as important new essays. Also included are writings and letters by Cage, reproductions of works by Cage and others, musical scores, recipes, advice on healthy eating, and photographs"--Sheet with title and contents information.
