The
500 volumes chosen to appear in these lushly illustrated pages represent
the unlimited creative possibilities for interpreting an enduring
form. They capture the range and depth of the craft today, from single-sheet
bindings to collage, flip, and pop-up works. To qualify for inclusion,
each piece had to function like a book, but a number of the works
also curl, hang, or swirl. Some of the pages are blank, while others
contain elaborate, content-driven narratives.
