= Khan-Magomedov p.121 and 125; Compton, Russian Avant-Garde Books 1917-34 p.82, 86 and 157 note 50: "Rodchenko's fascination with film continued to inspire many of his book covers, including a scheme capable of variation for a series of popular detective stories - Mess Mend or the Yankee in Petrograd (...) - written by Marietta Shaginian under the pseudonym Jim Dollar. For all ten volumes Rodchenko devised a complicated geometric layout combining colour with black and white, by dividing the cover into alternating coloured and black fields carrying white lettering. The central areas vary from cover to cover: they include cleverly cut photographs, including close-ups, reflecting the description to be found on the title page of volume one: 'cinematographic novel'. He chose a different colour for each cover and the series, which came out in 1924, remains most effective, though cheaply produced" (p.82). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXXVII.

In fact, it could be claimed that the painter was the co-author of this work, since he had not limited himself to illustrating the poem in order to render its meaning clearer, but had created a series of artistic compositions, capable of conjuring up profound associations of meaning."
