The Art Of Google Books


Nice Tumblr blog.

The Art of Google Books was conceived by Krissy Wilson after spending a great deal of time sifting through Google’s digitized books, trying to match the texts of exposed binder’s waste in nineteenth century children’s books with their texts of origin.

The aim of this project is twofold; to recognize book digitization as rephotography, and to value the signs of use that accompany these texts as worthy of documentation and study. Ultimately, the startling and diverse adversaria of Google Books merits examination and exhibition.
