“… Michael Hampton vets the medium’s history, postulating a new timeline that challenges the orthodox view of the artists’ book as a form largely peculiar to the twentieth century. … The book features fifty examples from the iconic to the obscure - accenting the codex's molecular structure rather than its customary role as a vehicle for text - a critical exposé of multiple types, plus an extensive select bibliography”, soft cover, 23,5 x 14,5 cm, 174 pages, Axminster 2015
