Don’t know if because I got there too late, there aren’t much people are looking at the books. They were watching performance or eating foods outside of the building. The place is really big and they do have a bunch of different kinds of publications. Those who are going through the books seem to be really interesting in what they have on hand. They were asking the author or people who are selling a lot of problems, and they were very happy to answer it. It’s kind of weird to just stand there and look over the books without saying anything or buying the book, but I still need to jet down the information of it.
(1) Book Title: A trip back – A trip forward
Author: Kate Glickberg
Price: $10
It’s a small book made up by paper about 3×5 inches. It uses staples as its binding method. The cover only has a clear photo on it. Inside is the photos from different states, those might be the photo taken by the author while she was on the trip.
(2) Book Title: Thirty-four Parking Lot in Los Angelus
Author: Travis Shaffer
Price: $24.46
As the title says, it has all the 24 satellite taken photo of the parking lots with some explanation on the bottom. The idea and content is very interesting, that’s why it caught my eyes. The binding method is same as a normal novel, and the size of the book is about 4×7 inches.
(3) Book Title: Rarely Seen Bad Jan Ader Film
Author: David Horvitz
Price: 35
It’s a huge stack of printed photo (not on the photo kind paper) stapled together. When flips it through it will become like a slow motion movie. It’s about a man on the bitch, I don’t really quite get the idea but it’s kind of fun.
(4) Ringier Ag Annual Report 2005
Author: Richard Prince Jokes and Cartoons
Price: 50
It’s like a huge stack of bigger size of note paper bind together. The binding method is same as a normal novel. The cover has a lot of hand drawing picture and words. It’s covered by a tracing paper, which makes it stands out from other publications.
(5) Book Title: World War 3
Author: Peter Kuper and Kevin Pyle
Price: $20
It’s a comic type book, in terms of binding method and its content. Inside is a lot of social satirize illustrations and comics. The cover is a city that looks like a labyrinth, that’s why it looks kind of different from the others.
(6) Book Title: Charted Pattern for Sweaters that Talk Back
Author: USA Anne Auerbach
Price: $ not specified and didn’t ask
The cover is a giant sweater with a words and labyrinth on it. The content has all kinds of different sweaters and patterns. It’s pretty interesting to see what kind of pattern they have because some of them are really special.
