| Summary |
"This volume expands upon and extends the work initiated by Renee Riese Hubert in Surrealism and the Book (University of California Press, 1987) by focusing acute critical attention on recent and contemporary artists' books. In The Cutting Edge of Reading the Huberts' develop a discourse which starts where the livre d'artiste leaves off."--BOOK JACKET |
