Book Art Object 2 explores the ingenuity of book makers from the point of view of the printers, the artists, the curators, the collectors, and others involved in the enchanting world of handmade books and graphic arts. This book celebrates a combined professionalism and imagination – and brings you as close to the surprising originals as you can without owning them. Nowhere else, one finds such quality. The book is a must for the inquisitive.
