A catalogue raisonné about books on artists' books, pamphlets, and catalogues. "It takes stock of a wide variety of publications on artists' books since the early 1970s to draw attention to the kind of documentary trace of distribution, circulation, and reception they represent. It aims to be a source book of exhibition catalogues, collection catalogues, monographs, dealership catalogues and other lists published to inform, promote, describe, show, distribute, and circulate artists' books" -- from publication's introduction.
