In an artist's book, the form of the book becomes an integral and dynamic part of the work and of the reader's experience. Artists' books are not books about art—they are art expressed through book form, involving the reader actively in the viewing process. The formats and materials of artists' books often transcend the ordinary and the expected. Some are in codex, scroll form, or use accordion folds. Some may alter the typography or use creative binding techniques and materials. Others may not use words in a literal way or have any words at all. But all artists' books involve the senses to make readers change their ideas about what a book is and does.
