Visit to Printed Matter.
A few publications that I really liked were:
1. Tripod by Asher Penn
- Price- $7
- Binding – Paperback Stapled.
- Edition year 2009
- Edition size: unknown
It was just amazing to see how the entire book only had pictures of the tripod. The pictures were taken from different angles of the room, which showed the tripod standing with other paintings and pictures sitting on the floor and hung on the wall. Even though there looked like very similar pictures it kept me looking out for those minute details in the background and made it more interesting.
2. The Studio of Dr.Mabuse by Jason Fox.
- Price- $30
- Binding – Sewn
- Hardcover
- Printing Method: Offset printing color
- Edition size: unknown
The front of the book was plain black with the title printed, which gave it a very classy look. The paper used was also a thick cardboard style which made the black and white picture stand out with the white borders all around the pictures.
3. We All Laughed At Christopher Columbus by Krist Gruijthuijsen and November Paynter
- Price- $45
- Binding – Sewn
- Printing Method: Offset printing color.
- Edition size: 1000
I just loved the cover of the book. The text was flowing from the back cover into the front cover, which looked very cool.
4. Complete Minimal Poems by Aram Saroyan.
- Price- $20
- Binding – Glue with inner stiches.
- Printing Method: Offset printing black and white.
- Edition size: unknown.
This book looked so simple because the cover was a plain yellow color with the name of the book and authors name but as I opened the book it was so funny because there was no pattrn or format of writing the text inside. The poems were all spread out randomly with a couple lines on one page some printed vertically, some horizontally, some were random letters all around the page.
5. Nazi Knife, Issue #5 by Jonas Delaborde and Hendrick Hegray
- Price- $24
- Binding – Paperback Glue
- Printing Method: Offset printing color.
- Edition size: unknown.
The front cover looks very interesting. It catches the eye and makes you want to open the book and seems there’s a deep meaning into the book.
6. Clinkscale by Helen Douglas, Telfer Stokes
- Price- $24
- Binding – Accordion folds
- Printing Method: Offset printing color.
- Edition size: unknown.
This was very pretty. The front cover had a picture of a person playing an accordion and the back cover was the other half of the picture. This book was in an accordion fold and when you opened it up all we saw was fresh green grass. It was nice to see how the cover with a picture of the accordion matched with the format of the book.
