Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. 123 artists, bookbinders, publishers, librarians, and scholars answer a deceptively simple question: What is a book?In April 2018, after publishing The Book in The MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series, Amaranth Borsuk began to approach artists, bookbinders, publishers, librarians, and scholars to inquire about their definition of the book.

A book is a way of knowing, re-membering what is forever lost in translation.Urayoan NoelA book is the flesh between flesh, a hard text sculpture from soft text immensities, a staged performance of time, a tangible glance of minds, the desire to speak other.Lisa Samuels Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
