Further information:
"The sculptural bookwork, that domain populated by Beube's rehabilitated books, is the least forgiving of the genre to the reader and to the book itself. This artists' book has a story to tell, but only through contrary means. Even as it rests within a vitrine, spot-lit, it is far from dormant, seeking instead to incite response through a visual poke or prod, to plant a metaphorical spur in the reader's mind with its amusing or unnerving suggestions." Betty Bright from the essay 'From Feast to Fault Lines: Charting the Territories'. Essays also included by William Ganis, Diane Mullin, Sara Reisman, Karin de Weille, Diane L. Linden, Byron Clercx and Marian Cohn, Judith Hoffberg, Garrett Stewart. Introduction by David Revere McFadden.
