![]() ![]() Abrams and Doug Dorst have an obvious fascination with the written word, and of the history of a world of books. It can also be read as an annot=ated work in progress. There are library stamps and some slight foxing, all of it faked! This book can be read as a novel. Postcards, letters, bills even a compass. And then, most unusually, there are many inserts loosely laid in throughout the book. One is the annotations within the text remarks and clarifications, as if handwritten. It is doubly so! It is made to look as if it was published in 1949, and among other mysteries it is also faked up as a library book - from a fictitious library of course! Thus there are many deceptions going on. ![]() It is not only a straightforward work of fiction. This is a 2013 book intentionally made to look like a 1949 book. ![]() I opened this extraordinary book to make certain it was a first edition what I did not realise was it is a truly fascinating and unique book imagined by J.J. ![]()
