Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard (Image) is a close copy of the 1914 edition of the French symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé’s poem of the same name, but with all the words overprinted by black bars, in a way that corresponds directly to the typographic layout used by Mallarmé to articulate the text.

For the Preface, Broodthaers carried out a transcription of the Mallarme-Text. The preface now features the entire poem written as a block of text, with each line separated by a slash (/). 

300 copies were produced on paper and 90 copies on translucent paper. 90 copies were produced on translucent paper. For the edition on translucent paper, Broodthaers "split" the recto and verso of the page onto separate sheets, which has hence 64 pages. The translucent edition also comes with two sheets of white card cut to the size of the book, which can be used as a reading fond. 10 copies were engraved on anodized aluminum plates.
