Thanks John for the mention. I'm attaching a WordPerfect 6.1 version of
the list of objects shown, which some of you might receive successfully
with luck. If anyone is keen to have a copy and the attachment hasn't
worked for you, let me know & I'll send it by post (London people, I'll
be at the South Bank reading tonight Tuesday also.)
Somewhere in this message is a link to the National Art Library home
page & catalogue: use the Form/Genre search to look for 'Artists'
books'. The NAL is open to anyone who has a serious interest in the
material it holds - join up & use it!
My session yesterday was inadequate in many ways, to the books and to
the small and heterogenous audience. We often show artists' books by
arrangement to groups, of art students for instance, which is more
satisfactory when there is a common interest & focus. Perhaps a group of
interested british-poets might like to apply to come for a study session
with my selection, or another.
Best,
elizabeth
