A Word about Words / Havel, Vaclav ; Kolar, Jiri ; Sadek, George., 1992
The text of Havel's acceptance speech (in absentia) for the International Peace Prize of the German Booksellers Association in 1989 was illustrated by Jiri Kolar with 21 prints of visual poetic collages based upon typography from a Gutenberg bible page that contained the lines, "In the beginning was the word." The book was exhibited in "Celebrate Prague and the Book" at Cooper Union in 1992 and at New York Public Library in 1995. Havel's essay is a "tour de force" on the political power of words. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Anansi Company / King, Ron; Fisher, Roy., 1992
This book contains 13 highly stylized puppets made from bent stiff cooper wire and silkscreened papercard cut elements that are held in place on the pages with papercard folds. These can be removed and manipulated by pulling on the wires to produce movement of the wire and papercard elements. These puppets have a child-like, surrealistic sensibility and are magnificantly engineered. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
