His drawing is placed over the phone book as a template and he uses an artist's scalpel or basic razor blades to patiently slice away at the thousands of pages inside the famous book

If the artist is willing I think this should be an album or DVD cover of some upcoming release. That is really a nice work of art.

It would be interesting to let former US Senator/NY Knicks basketball player Bill Bradley have a crack at that one.
I remember back in the 70s Bill Bradley was on Midday Live with Bill Boggs where he recited any given page
of a phone book.

Those not familiar with that particular show that aired here in NYC on WNEW CH5 may remember
that Bill Boggs along with Richard Baker co produced Zappa Halloween '81 for MTV.

We the fans are not in control. We have a choice to use our eyes and ears or read it and weep.

That's TOO cool! There's this awesome sense of depth in it!

To be able to recite the phone book, presumably one would have to have read the thing, cover to cover, in the first place.

He could get a job at 'Directory Enquiries' in a shot!

Bill Bradley could read a telephone book cover to cover where after that you pick a page and he can recite that page.
That feat is amazing photographic memory. I think Jerry Lucas taught Bill about photographic memory techniques.

The point being if he read a phone book where at each and every page FZ was staring him in the face
that would make for an interesting dialog when someone asked him to recite a BLACK PAGE.
