Bibliology 101, a self-promotional book, targets the publishing audience and describes how a book comes into being, a process all too familiar to this audience. Functioning as author, designer, and illustrator, we invented charts modeled after chemistry and biology textbooks and wrote a tongue-in-cheek, pseudo-scientific text. Production was as inexpensive as possible, with one-color printing and a binding that we assembled ourselves. Nonetheless, this became one of our favorite projects—one in which we controlled the content, both words and images, as well as the form.
