Postal Seance: A Scientific Investigation into the Possibility of a Postlife Postal Existence, 2004
This book attempts to answer the "eternal question: is there life after death? If there is, author and illustrator Henrik Drescher hypothesizes that inhabitants of the afterworld might be able to receive letters, using earthly mailboxes as portals...If the letters are not returned, it its presumed that the mail was successfully delivered to its intended recipient. 'Postal Seance' records the results of this important experiment, reproducing each of the letters sent to such luminaries as James Joyce, Buchminster Fuller, Dolly the Sheep and 49 others with notes on their arrival and return status."Two pages of artist stamps by Drescsher are provided so the readers can conduct their own postal seance experiments. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Real Fiction / Stokes, Telfer ; Douglas, Helen., 1987
According to the Stokes' WEB site: "Taking as a starting point the incongruous space and shadows made by the open pages of the book, the process of opening or "entering " is explored as one would an unknown dwelling. This process of exploration develops into the construction of a room within the book and then leads from the core of this interior place outwards, as fusion between inside and outside. Interspersed, a constructive text hovers and casts shadows on the open pages as an active commentary and associative dialogue on the 'construction .'" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
