Summing up on Artist's book

Artist's book can be classified into many categories:
1) A book of democratic multiple
2) A boo of auratic
3) An altered book
4) A book of structural investigation
5) Self reflective book
6) A book of textual form
7) A book of social change
8) Space of exhibition
9) A book of sequence
10) A book of document

There were so many examples that we examined in class, and trying to relate them to the categories mentioned. Some of them are quite clear and easy to classified, at the same time there are some we still have to question where the boundary of artist's book lays.

I went on further to research more about artist's book. Looking for more example, and learn more about different way of making a book and different types of binding.
Double scroll
Accordion fold book
Layered accordion book
Pocket book
Exposed stitch book with beads
Ox-plow pamphlet
Ox-plow quilt book.
Pocket triangle and diamond book.

Amazingly some of the book made out of folded origami to form the pages.

At the same time I looked into making pop up books too. This changes the form and content of a book and makes it appear to be much more interesting, appealing if the design is used appropriately.

From here I read on about different texture of paper use in creating different kind feel in a book.

It is really essential to pick the right type of binding, folding and texture paper in order to create the message you want to express in an artist's book.
