Mirrors (1983)
The idea for this book came from the experience of watching a fellow traveller on a train read a text, which you can ‘read’ mirrored in the window. In the book single words sometimes face their own mirror images creating new words; even the colophon, a copy number and (handwritten) signature are in mirror writing. The inside covers are mirror foil enabling you to read the title in reflection. Edition of 300. Collection holds no 295/300. Published by Coracle Press, London.
