      Exploring the intersection of art and literature, this work challenges traditional categories of books such as 'fine press' and 'artist book,' arguing they no longer adequately describe contemporary creations. The author reflects on four decades in the field, emphasizing the need for accessible language that resonates with everyday readers rather than specialists. By critiquing existing terminology, the book advocates for a more intuitive understanding of books, encouraging a dialogue that prioritizes the reader's experience over technical jargon.
