Commentary from Alan Tucker's essay Finnegans Wake and March Demon March Demon is a file of 10 + 232 individual leaves filed on brass screwed pegs to make a text block with top and bottom canvas boards, hand-coloured by Cox in a magic square design. The front board has a small printed label. All Cox's books have an immediately striking appearance. Unfortunately that can mean they are looked at (by collectors) more often than read.

The original collage for the photocopy edition. Note the little detail of the girl's hand over the edge of the nest, itself built up from superimposed fragments.

from Alan Tucker's essay: Finnegans Wake and March Demon "...in 1939 Faber rejected Morris Cox's March Demon just as they were about to publish (with some misgivings) Finnegans Wake"
