Enclosures
Artists’ books may be enclosed, encased, wrapped up, or bound in engaging ways, inviting you to open them up and look inside.
Enclosures may be made of many materials from very modest cardboard to high-end leather. Metal, plastic, cloth, or other unexpected materials may also be deployed. Enclosures of artists’ books can be works of art themselves.
Slipcases allow a book to slip in or out of a box. They also protect the contents and may be as creatively designed as the books themselves.
