This week's book is an accordion on some leftover strips of printmaking paper. It's an long book. I was playing a solo version of the surrealist game exquisite corpse and focusing on letting the imagery flow from one panel to the next. That's a bit like playing chess with yourself, but I like the results.

The imagery is photocopy transfer. Marbled paper covers go well with the anatomical illustrations inside and I added a bit of the interior paper so that I could transfer an image on the front.
