Text from the back cover of Pages From an Imaginary Book.
Imagine this book to be twice as large,
with a hardbound cover and gold debossed title, beautiful
endpapers, head and tail bands, and a dust cover with a French
fold. The inside would have glossy, coated paper throughout.
Printed on this paper would be a number of carefully selected
full color reproductions of landscape photographs of the Mojave
Desert. The photos would have been taken with a field camera
holding 8 x 10 inch negative film. The reproductions would be
scanned with the latest high-end scanning device and printed at
300 lines per inch in five colors with a spot varnish. The
tonal qualities and detail of the reproductions would match the
originals perfectly. To explain the images and create context,
there would be two critical essays by well known critics. And
to lend the book credibility it would be published by a New
York art book publisher or institute of photography. It would
be a beautiful book, indeed.
This is not that book.
