ORIGINAL BURNING BOOKS
Original artist’s books from Burning Books Press are hand-cut and individually-assembled limited edition volumes in cut paper, signed and dated by the artist. Each artist’s book is made to order, using archival-quality materials. This is not an assembly line. Graphic rhythms and textures are varied during assembly, and accidental discoveries incorporated as they add delight to particular books.
