In 2000, as part of the planning for the new Cerritos Library, I established a collection of books that challenged our idea of what makes a book a book. While all types of artists’ books were acquired, I was drawn to the more sculptural works. Below are just a few examples of the almost 250 books in the collection.

And the good news is, The Cerritos Library’s Special Collection is now online!
