From a set of books made made for the project Library of Lost Books, in which artists were sent books withdrawn from Birmingham City Library. I was sent the book The Use of Books, by Mary Gillespie, 1947, a manual in the use of books and libraries for children. I was interested in the many lists contained in the book. This book takes two items from a list of famous monuments. I printed the images and text on separate sides of the paper and allowed the folding of the book to determine how they combined.
