an otherwise innocuous volume
'The half-tones are mediocre, the dozen color plates very bad, so bad that they transform an otherwise innocuous volume into one insufferable for the experienced eye and perversive to the innocent.'
'Alfred H. Barr Jr, in a book review; quoted by Alice Goldfarb Marquis in Alfred H. Barr Jr: Missionary for the Modern, 1989.
