Additional notes:
This is an interesting example of the grafting of bibliography and artist's book in that it presents as an intricate and unique four-part fold-out structure making reading difficult!

Structurally, it consists of four separate triangular blocks of pages, sewn, bound and joined by a malleable section of book cloth to form either a flat book or a free-standing 3-dimensional object.

It thus folds closed with four spines, each with the title in one of these languages: English, French, Italian and German, two of which present next to one another on the bookshelf.

Each section is by one of the named authors.
