"This book is quite inspiring. I got a lot of ideas by looking at these artists' books and reading the essays. Some of them are quite bizarre and not what I would classify as a book, but no matter -- if the artist wants to call it a book, I guess it's a book."
"Do I need to say that the book is the perfect territory where all my passions meet? ;-) So, why noy take a step further and bring it into fine arts too? These books are truly amazing! Totally incredible! I just wish the museum had all of them them on display in its permanent collections. It looks like they take some of them out periodically, whenever they have a "book as art" exhibition. I was there the other day and couldn't find any except fot those in the current exhibit (which is very small by the way)."
"this is a good book for those interested in artists' books. the range isn't terribly expansive but it's hard to track down artists, get their consent, get them to talk about themselves and then get really good pictures of sometimes one-of-a-kind books. i know this personally. i dig this book a lot.
all of you who are artists should try at least one time to make a book... and please for the love of a librarian don't think pasting a bunch of stuff into your sketch pad is original."
