Jackson Heights, Self-Published, [c. 2002]. In 2002, before Foer went on a 38-city book tour for his first book, Everything is Illuminated, he stuffed 5000-7500 ziplock plastic bags with a pencil (stamped "The Self-Portrait Project") and a 4" x 6" pre-printed card and envelope to hand out at his readings. His hope was that people would draw themselves or write about themselves on the cards and mail them back to his post office box. This card has been inscribed by Foer on the verso: "___/ Send this back!!/ Jonathan Safran Foer." At the time Foer inscribed this, he stated it was the first one he had ever been asked to sign: it may remain the only. Fine, with envelope, pencil, and plastic bag. Paragraph of provenance included.
