Scope and Contents

This book celebrates ten years of Granary Press and the independent publications of Steven Clay. Charles Bernstein contributed a forward and Steven Clay wrote an introduction. Bernstein writes, "At Granary, books are not neutral containers but are invested with a life of their own, conceived as objects first and foremost, entering the world not as the discardable shell of some other story but piping their own tunes on their own instruments. Nothing is taken for granted - the binder is as much a star as the printer or writer. The design is an extension of (not secondary to) the content, just as the content is an extension of the design. For a book, a Granary Book, is never about delivering information in the most expeditious form." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
