Theme: Artist Book / Special Collections "Special collections in some libraries provide a place to look at and study artist books. There are good things and not so good things about this... One complaint is that the books just languish in rarely visited institutions, unseen, unhandled, even though they are protected from the many ways books are damaged." Brad Freeman, from the introduction. This issue of JAB includes three essays in which two institutions, the library at University of California, LA and the Flaxman Library and Special Collection at School of the Art Institute of Chicago actively program to draw students to engage with artist books. Essay also by Doro Boehme, April Sheridan, Robert Gore, Neill Herring. Interludes by Claire Yspol Included are eight artist books by eight artists including, also, Clare Day, Hazel Grainger, Matthew Robertson, Martin Thomas, Conor Wilson.
