Black and white poster shows photographs of a nude man standing above flames at each corner. Flames also border the top and bottom of the page. "Ever Want to Burn A Bible? / How About Thousands of Bibles in Lewiston, New York?" is printed in large font at top center. A picture of a hand holding a pitchfork that is skewering a copy of the King James Holy Bible is visible at center surrounded by text about the Survival Research Laboratories. "In their upcoming machine performance, to be staged on September 1 at ArtPark outside Buffalo New York, [Survival Research Laboratories] will create large sexually explicit props covered with a generous layer of requisitioned bibles. After employing these props in a wide variety of unholy rituals, SRL machines will proceed to burn them to ashes." An address for sending bible contributions in Lewiston, New York is printed in a box at bottom center.
