Includes smaller laid-in pages throughout and an essay at the back. A visually captivating collage of Hamilton’s works meant to engage the senses. From the essay: “In these pages, cloth fragments and words meet on paper lifted from other books’ frontispieces or endpapers. This meeting--the size and color, opacity and transparency, the facticity of the cloth, the color and wear of the paper, the abstractness of the language sifted from loose fragments of sliced books--happens intuitively.”
