Book Work  details Return to Main Page Books are our connection with immortality. Mankind's supreme gift from the gods, they allow our species and no others the ability to gain knowledge and insight from another of our kind dead centuries past. Until recently, books were treasures, hard to come by and venerated. But the advance of modern priting and distribution makes books a consumable item, like toilet paper. Though advantageous in terms of mass dissemination of knowledge, i think it sad in terms of awareness of the power and beauty of this immprtality. I seek to explore and celebrate this vehicle of immortality, in the books you see at right.  Oftentimes, my biggest challenge is simply finding a writing or subject worthy of immortality. The ease of modern printing has made man less selective about what he puts on paper. Maybe this phenomenon in itself is worth pursuing.
