Description
STEINER, ELIZABETH & VAN VLIET CLAIRE
Woven and Interlocking Book Structures.
From the Janus, Steiner and Gefyn Presses 2002. 142p, illustrated throughout. 250mm, light card covers, fine. A trade copy of Van Vliet and Elizabeth Steiner's how-to manual on creating non-adhesive book structures it is accompanied by miniature models of each of the techniques described therein, executed by Audrey Holden. The models serve to make clear in three dimensions what is often difficult to discern in two and, as Ruth Fine notes in The Janus Press—Fifty Years, are elegant and skillfully executed book objects in their own right. The models are divided into four non-adhesive slipcases with the names of the represented techniques printed on each. Fine.
