CURIOUS LOOKS AT ARTISTS' BOOKS

What would a book designed and made by an artist look like?
Can glass, soap, plexiglass and other non-paper materials
form a book? Why would one need a can-opener when opening a
book?

These and other questions may be answered by Paley Library's
exhibition of artists' books from its Special Collections
Department and the Tyler School of Art Library: "Curious
Looks at Artists' Books."

Exhibition location: Main Lobby, Paley Library
Temple University Libraries 13th & Berks Sts.
Philadelphia, PA 19122 Phone: 215-204-8230

Exhibition dates: November 11-December 31, 2005
