About the book
In Ralph Gibson's thirtieth monograph, the object of fascination, examination and veneration becomes the book itself. Exploring the printed word from the early days of ancient Roman stone through today's explosion of information on the Internet, 'Ex Libris' chronicles the written record, offering its own interpretation of the signs, letter forms, shapes and images used to document our existence, and featuring text from the world's greatest collections and libraries. Illustrated with 118 duotone photos.
