Scope and Contents

The writer describes the scene at the London Artists' Book Fair at the Barbican Centre in November 1997. He stresses the increased appreciated value of artist books, particularly those done by Ian Hamilton Finlay and Bob Cobbing. Writing about Cobbing, he mentions that "His Domestic Ambient Noise" series, in collaboration with the visual poet Lawrence Upton, has run to 157 editions in the past three years. Their cost is 1 pound each or four for 5 pounds. Winsor states that "A rich collector in Miami [Marvin Sackner not identified!] and two assiduous London collectors have all 157." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
