Dear Art Educators,

I know many of you are interested in Artists books.

This site was featured in Scout Report.

16. Kohler Art Library: The Artists' Book Collection.
http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/ArtistsBks

The Kohler Art Library at University of Wisconsin-Madison presents this
illustrated database that indexes roughly 760 titles from its collection of
over 800 artists' books. The database can be searched by book title,
creator's name, publisher, date, or subjects. Other search terms relate to
types of book structures, bindings, medium/technique, and contributors. Each
record in the database has either a short description of the book's contents
or a complete transcription of the colophon, the short paragraph
traditionally placed at the end of a book, that tells about its production.
In addition, for slightly more than half the books, several images are
included. For example, the colophon for "From a housewife's diary", by
Claire Van Vliet, states that the "covering is dish towels bound by James
Bicknell", and the image included shows that the towels are red plaid. [DS]
