Book porn


Here, and here. So very very yummy - as is the confirmation for my 'how to make your own book' course which arrived this morning. I'm sure my lovely publishers will be quaking about the competition as I move towards full scale production, especially as apparently I don't even need to write any words:
"We have a book in the collection called The Mirror Book - no text whatsoever - it has glass mirror bindings, and silver mylar pages, so that the entire book is totally reflective. But it is bound like a book, it is shaped like a book, so in my mind it is a book even though it is not readable. It does not have to be readable, but does need to be book-like in some way."


The quote and photograph above are taken from an article about the books held in the collection at the National Gallery in Maryland. I have to visit there and here. I'm tingling in the way I do when I feel a new obsession coming on....
