Special Collections : Dimensional and Artists Books Collection

Special Collections is the repository for rare and unique materials in the Walker Library.

Collection Overview

The Dimensional and Artists Books Collection comprises various genres of movable and pop-up books as well as examples of artists’ books, mixed media objects which intersect with the form, content, or function of printed texts. It is an intentionally eclectic collection bringing together books that explore the nature and boundaries of what a book is or how the form can change the “normal” relationship between reader and text.

 

We maintain current subscriptions to: 

  • Ephemera Journal 
  • Movable Stationery 

We also have the complete run of Bookways: A Quarterly for the Book Arts which was published by W. Thomas Taylor out of Austin, Texas. 


Full Text Databases
