The nature of the subject – The artist Pygmalion’s search for the perfect women - a work of art - lends itself perfectly for the artist/bookmaker to vary each copy of the book in his search for the “perfect book.” The images are either variants on a similar design or entirely different. The test has been computer set in Palatino. Metal plates were made of the text and letterpress printed on BFK Rives Paper. The Binding is based on the Japanese “noble” style.”<BR><BR>
