No.95 March 2015 "In editing this special edition of the La Trobe Journal on artists' books, our chief aim has been to introduce the Library's significant collection of artists' books to new readers. At the same time, we hope that these essays will open up questions and point others toward new areas of research in the field. While there has been a growing literature on the subject, it is nevertheless the case that artists' books in Australia remain an under-researched area of study... Whatever the future of the book, we feel assured that artists, in emphasising tactility and materiality, will be fundamental to its continued evolution."
