This 150-page volume, which serves as the catalog for "A Lot More Inside: Esopus Magazine," the Colby College Museum of Art exhibition devoted to the Esopus archive running from February 15 to May 12, 2024, consists of four separate books along with removable inserts and other components collected into a custom slipcase. Its contents include:

- A book featuring facsimiles of "rejections" received by Esopus contributors and other creatives, including Ed Ruscha, Lonnie Holley, and Lisa Kudrow, over the course of their careers

- An artists' project, taking the form of an 8-panel double-sided foldout, by photographer Gary Green and poet Gianluca Rizzo, exploring—and creating—connections between the Esopus Creek and the Kennebec River, which runs through Waterville, Maine

- A book featuring 50 brand-new Steve Keene paintings of artworks (by artists ranging from Alex Katz to David Wojnarowicz) in the collection of the Colby College Museum of Art selected by Colby students and faculty

- A 23-x-36" removable poster that documents the Esopus production process through a range of press-run photos and printing artifacts

- "Exploring the Archive" – a book offering a series of glimpses into some of the materials in the Esopus archive—including a number of items not featured in the exhibition—including correspondence, process-related ephemera, and much more.
