VOICES: Street Spirit, New York is a limited-edition accordion book that was conceived, designed, and printed by Center for Book Arts 2021 Book Artist-in-Residence Oswaldo García during his time working on-site at CBA in September and October 2021. While in New York, García photographed hundreds of street signs and then used language from his images to compose a poem-like list of text that is both poignant and humorous. A single line of text from one New York sign appears on each fold of the accordion book. The paper García selected for the book transitions from bright green to blue to orange to red to yellow — creating a verse-like effect for text on each color of paper. For example, the "verse" on the yellow paper reads: Everything Everything frosted Everything must go Available Affordable pricing Moving Running or not It's time to let go Come now this won't last Wholesale & retail New & used Part time or full time Revised All ways All uses considered Everything a blessing In addition, García used 45 metal type specimens from CBA's collection (listed in the colophon) for the work. The combined effect serves as a visual reminder of how García accumulated the text from many disparate sources.

Colophon

VOICES is the result of many days of exploring the streets of New York, photographing and hand-setting words, phrases, and experiences encountered there. It was produced during September and October, as part of the Book Artist-in-Residence program 2021 at Center for Book Arts, NYC. It was printed on colorplan paper in an edition of 200.

Great tasting
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
I ordered both the wagyu beef and the venison . Just received them today. I’ve only tried the wagyu beef so far and I’m very impressed. It’s not overly salty and more like a dried hamburger beef. Not to dry to need a flosser like other Jerky’s. The venison is way to salty I definitely prefer the Wagyu

The best meat sticks!
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the best meat sticks I’ve found so far! They are very clean and go down well. Very tasty. If you need more protein on the go-these are a no-brainer. Slightly pricey, but worth it!

Not bad. Read the box.
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 0.8 Ounce (Pack of 10)
First of all, this isn't really beef jerky and nowhere do they state that it is. Simply put, it is not your typical beef jerky. I don't know how these are processed because there are not nitrates, nitrites, or even celery powder - which are the ingredients used for curing meat. Yes, these are ground and formed meat strips, just as it says on the box and on each individual strip wrapper. These lack all the extra preservatives and additives that other strips and jerkys have. And although some of the other meats that they have are flavored with cranberry, apple, or bacon, these don't have much flavoring at all. Just added honey, which keeps it from being totally vile. When I first opened the package, the scent was that of old time (not ancient) jerky. The way jerky looked and tasted in the 70s. But the flavor is really meaty/bloody tasting, with little hint of honey that makes it palatable. I'm not hating on this, it's rather not really too bad... just gotta get used to that bloody raw meaty taste. I've had their beef/bacon/cranberry bars and those were not edible. They were totally disgusting. Maybe it's because these are thinner and more like jerky (you get less of a mouthful) that I find them easier to swallow. I'v had quite a bit of their "bacon" bars (note, they are bars, not strips), and really wish they'd make the bacon bars thin like these strips as well. Although I like the bacon best, sometimes it's just too much... it's like spam but not as tasty. The texture of these is much better. Bottom line, if you expect these to taste like O'berto stips, then don't get them. If you expect something that tastes like a caveman's dinner, then this is it.

Meh
Flavor Name: Wagyu Beef Steak, Size: 20 Count (Pack of 1)
This is not beef jerky but rather and "ground and formed" meat snack. Not particularly rich, not particularly flavorful, and thus not particularly Wagyu.
