Additional notes:
A volume of Spector's essays on topics in art and artists' books.

University of Tennessee, An Annotated bibliography for contemporary printmaking: "This book offers an excellent survey of issues in book arts. In the first chapter Spector compares two separate exhibitions of book arts that juxtapose the book as a highly crafted, fetish object (typically hand printed) with the book as disseminator of information (typically

printed by offset lithography). Spector effectively discusses our physical experience of books as intimate objects and our collections of books as indicators of our values and interests."
