I saw a display at the National Museum of African Art called
Artists' Books and Africa. Artists' books are works of art in book form. The accompanied primer to the exhibit showed many great examples of artists' books. A description from the museum's web site states:
Artists’ books build on the traditional codex of sequentially bound pages. These visual and tactile artworks play with the codex format in fanciful ways, pushing the boundaries with sheer unexpectedness. Below is a snapshot of the primer. Plus, my own form of book art. ~JM
