Judging by a sample of the posters that I received, you would get the same text, but as a series of relatively unconnected pages pieced together on large poster paper. Small sections of the book are kept together so that ideas and thoughts aren't completely dislocated, and at the end of each section is included directions to assist you in finding the appropriate location on the appropriate poster where it continues. I'm not sure if the author is taking the piss here with academics and their habit of deconstruction or if he's making a comment on content and form, but it comes across as being just a little too much like the art world he is so critical of in the pages of the book. To be fair, it's impossible to judge the impact of these posters without having access to all of them.
Whatever else boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring by Zach Plague is, it's an intelligent, sometimes witty, and sometimes sad book that offers sharp criticism of the art world, and our society in general. Boredom has brought many an empire to its knees in the past, and Zach Plague has done a fine job of depicting the ennui that sucks the life out of us.
