Playing with endpapers
In conversations comparing e-books to print books it is the physicality of the book, the paper, the smell, the urge to curl up in chairs or under a duvet that people would miss. Perhaps the future of the print book is in the beauty of the object itself. For these bookmarks I have cut the leaf shapes of the cheese plant in three different papers used by bookbinders - 2 Japanese papers and 1 I found in a stationery shop in Manchester.
The Arts University College at Bournemouth Library is a specialist art, design, media and performance library. AUCB has about 3000 students with 80% studying at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
