About this book
"The premise of this book was very simple: take quotes about the value of books from authors of credibility and substance, print them, and then deface the book obliterating the word 'book' in every quote. The watercoloring resembles blood spattered into the pages; the damage increases as the pages progress towards the end. The book is a record of damage, distress, pain, and woundedness"--The Book Arts at the Centre for Fine Print Research, UK website.
