Summary

A visual tribute to the printedword, this delicious ode to The Book won awards andcritical praise when first published in an oversizedformat in 2002. Abelardo Morell's elegant photographs ofbooks are presented in duotone reproductions,highlighting the grace and sensuality of the printedpage.Morell has selected unusual books, like a leather-boundvolume that is smaller than a paper clip, an impossiblylarge dictionary and illustrated books whose charactersappear to leap off the page. He has photographed theendless ocean of books in a library and the strikinglybeautiful way in which weathered and water-damaged bookstake on sculptural form.
