With full color images of the exhibition and a detailed checklist of artists’ books, the catalog features an introduction by Jessica Cochran, the Center’s Curator of Exhibitions and Programs, as well as an essay by artist and writer Dan Wang.

The catalog also features a project statement by artist, designer and builder John Preus, who led a team of students in the design and construction of The World as Text in a two week design charrette.
