Description

This book is a perfect union of form and function, and as such has proven to be endlessly adaptable to aesthetic and technological innovation. The books selected to be included in this follow-up volume to the popular 500 Handmade Books, represent the unlimited creative possibilities for interpreting an enduring form - books as objects and books as sculptural pieces. Along with more traditional, richly embellished books, other featured works push the boundaries such as books that unfurl, scroll and flip, created not only with lush, handmade papers, but also with more improbable materials like metal, fabric, wood and glass.
