- "The Gould Essays are written by Alex Chambers--Erasmus Gould got his name through the combination of Erasmus Darwin and Glenn Gould. The essays were written for a lecture series that is still hosted occasionally by Alex and his wife Kit Boulding in their house. The essays are intended to stay somewhat mysterious in origin and surreal enough to exist clearly out of reality"--Statement by Friedrich Kerksieck at Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, viewed Feb. 18, 2014.
- "From Khunk to Chunk® & The Wheat Wars were printed simultaneously on a Vandercook #4 by Friedrich Kerksieck in the Spring of 2008 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The text (Bell & Baskerville typefaces) & images are reproduced using photopolymer plates. The papers within are Arches Text Wove, Satin Vellum, & a handmade cover stock comprised mostly of recycled blue jeans & shirts made by Team Knife Fighter (Amanda Clark & FK) in the Lost Arch Paper Mill. Both pamphlets feature original illustrations by Austin artist Cherie Weaver"--Colophon.
