Die-Cut Plug Wiring Diagram Book

[1] Originally consisting of 36 full-size reproductions of British AC power plug wiring diagrams printed in various colours, the book has become celebrated as an example of English sociological art, and is sometimes referred to as part of the New Folk Archive.

[2] Online gallery Hayvend described it: "the ultra-obsessive die cut plug wiring diagram book [is part of] an avalanche of essential ephemera [collected] by unashamed image junkie Mark Pawson".

Pawson has become a central figure of UK mail art, and has also participated widely in the emerging worldwide network of artist's bookfairs.

[8] Die-Cut Plug Wiring Diagram Book has been exhibited widely, and is in various public collections including MOMA and Tate.

Later editions of the work acquired a piece of electrical tape bound inside the cover, more images of plugs,[12] as well as adverts for other related commodities made by Pawson.
