Boxset June 2011

Résumé du livre

Each booklet is handmade, individually titled and contains a poem on a folded insert. The booklets are housed in a cardboard box lined with recycled brown paper. David Merritt creates his 'chapbooks' from recycled books; mostly Reader's Digest, which he gets from the St Johns Ambulance book fair in Whanganui. Merritt assigns ISBN numbers to his books. In a recent interview he said, "I use the box set to create installations in public institutions and to provide a record of the previous dozen or so books I've made using a particular sequence of ISBNs".
