The Web is wonderful, except that you cannot touch anything.This is one of the handmade books entered in a contest called "Abecedarium" - featuring paper made by the artist and the earliest written cuniform for letters. No matter what groovy idea you think is original to you, it ain't baby.

Oh yes, which is why, in the online pub vs. print pub, the print pub is always going to win.
This book is amazing. I used to make paper. I used to make books out of my own paper and then I started making paper sculpture and eventually, after my hands gave out, I had to stop. It takes a lot of hand strength to make paper and I miss it. I still have all my tools and moulds and cotton lintels in my garage.
I'm home sick today, touching my books. Navigate, I mean.
I am so looking foward to touching my own copy!
http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byorg/gbw/gallery/abecedarium/ has lots more books to look at!
LocusPoint has the most fabulous Seattle poems! Definitely not herony, and Susan's. Wow.
