Not being affected by the threat of electronic media and it could be argued, produced as a reaction to it are Artists’ Books; personal publications created, rather than designed, by artists where new ideas can be tried and the books treasured as beautiful objects.
Produced in limited editions, they depend on illustration, exquisite materials and a process of attention to detail and decision. This does come at a cost, but means that if you can’t afford to produce or buy a work of art, you can afford to produce or buy a book - as a work of art.
