This book speaks of conceiving text as a "book experience", rather than a running manuscript. A book is more than the sum of its parts; this book examines how each inherent property of the book can be used to speak, aside from the pictures, and/or text. The physical object and turning of pages become part of the content. This is the preeminent book on artists' books, examining the works of 55 artists, with a heavy concentration on current work in computer-imaged books and book installations. Printed on archival paper and Smythe-sewn in paperback. Also available unbound in sheets, folded and gathered.

Sequel to Structure of the
Visual Book. This book discusses how the writer can become aware
of the space and movement in the composing of pages and text. It examines
the possibilities of conceiving text which utilizes the format to assist the
written word. By considering the physicality of the book and the turning
of the pages, text becomes a book experience, rather than a running manuscript.
Printed on archival paper and Smythe-sewn in paperback. Also available
unbound in sheets, folded and gathered. |
