A Cliff Story

Claire Owen, 1976

Description

The purposes of this book are threefold:
1. To demonstrate some of the capabilities of a new method for printing artists’ books which is direct, low-cost, low-technology, and which maintains the high fidelity of original images.
2. To produce a body of visual/verbal images which were conceived as a book.
3. To produce a high quality book which could be profitably sold at a low cost.
