All of the books on this list, in one way or another, address the physicality of the book. Each one, in its own way, calls into question a reader’s assumptions about what a book is and presents new avenues of approach to reading. Can a card game be a book? Can cut and sewn patterns constitute a narrative? Printed on scarves, sandpaper, and postage stamps, bound with sticks, pencils, duct tape or tucked inside a matchbox, these books speak through their materials as well as about their materials and in so doing engage a reader’s associative as well as analytical mind.
