Let me tell you about this book I borrowed.
Jonathan Safran Foer took one of his favorite books, Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz (European Jewish writer whose work mostly disappeared during WW2) and made a "graverubbing" of the text by cutting up the book to make his own story. The spliced text is preserved in printed form.
Tree of Codes is lovely, rare, + out of print - on eBay it will run you $100+. #bookart #thankslibrary #bucketlistbook
