Library in a Book: Seven in One

The first page of this book dedicated to the “Dear Reader” describes the different kinds of books made today, from corporate-made books to books produced by photocopiers. Extensive colophons at the back of the book give information on each of the seven smaller books housed inside. Each left-hand page displays library cards with call numbers and descriptions. On the right-hand pages, the books are tucked neatly into envelopes along with rubber stamped library admonishments such as “Reshelve All Books” and “Quiet Please.”
