Book Synopsis Edges of Books by : Melbert B. Cary, Jr. Graphic Arts Collection
Book excerpt: Edges of Books examines a familiar form from an unfamiliar perspective. When books are on display it is usually their spines, covers, text, or illustrations that are featured. These are the familiar parts of the books--the parts that modern readers have come to interact with the most. Edges of Books takes a different approach, uncovering a tradition that extends back centuries in which the edges of books were important sites for information and decoration. This is a catalog of an exhibition of the same name at the Cary Collection.
