Exploring Book Forms

The Dispenser: Is it a book?

Dale Harris had a link recently to a piece about Book Play, Creative Adventures in Handmade Books. From the pages I can see on Amazon, it looks like a traditional “how to make a book” book. But this post has a slide show of the books the author, Margaret Couch Cogswell, makes. The one above is called “the Dispenser” and she says “I designed this book to unspool the story one sentence at a time.” You can also see more of her artist’s books on her website.

One thought on “Exploring Book Forms”

  1. Since I still look to books for reading—evn artist books—the one you’ve chosen to highlight is the most appealing to me. What an incredible amount of work! Typing individual sentences, pressing each one onto the tape and spooling the tape back onto the roll … with no dirty fingerprints!
