Over the past ten years the popularity of artists' books have grown rapidly with many exhibitions devoted to them.

After a brief look at the history of the book as an artwork in its own right, Sarah Bodman examines various methods and practical issues involved in making an artist's book, illustrating each area with examples of work from a number of artists.
