A swatch of 25 sheets of peeled-off individual fruit labels, collected as a way of enhancing an understanding of the French. The artist's book includes introductory note by the author.

This is the second book from Coracle of William Minor’s poems, after 'tree on the outside' (2010). Here, by conjecture and statement surrounding the artist’s life and work, he presents an interior with the detail and form of a still-life.

The Century of Artists' Books is the first full-length study of the development of artists' books as a twentieth century art-form. This work situates artists' books within the context of mainstream developments in the visual arts from Russian Futurism and Surrealism to Fluxus, Conceptual Art, to Postmodernism.

In The Visible Word, Johanna Drucker shows how later art criticism has distorted our understanding of such works. She argues that Futurist, Dadaist, and Cubist artists emphasized materiality as the heart of their experimental approach to both visual and poetic forms of representation; by mid-century, however, the tenets of New Criticism and High Modernism had polarized the visual and the literary.
