the Library

books and manuscripts as art objects — the first shelf. where they live, what they are made of, and the door each one leaves open: unlike a painting, a book lets you in.

the ledger of books

what the market did with the written word — and what the thieves did. the main ledger keeps the paintings; this page keeps the books.
