SUPERBOOK AND A HALF. COLLIER SCHORR BOOTLEGGED HER OWN BOOK. 8½ WOMEN IS THE EXPANDED, ANNOTATED, PHOTOCOPIED, REMADE AND REMODELLED VERSION OF 8 WOMEN. HANDMADE IN AN EDITION OF FIFTY IN 2014. WE KNOW, LIKE AGES AGO. HISTORY ALREADY.

Illegally binding. We were sold on the screws. Any book with a three screw binding is already better than pretty much anything. And this is a photocopy bootleg book so you can take all the enthusiasm we already had up to the power of ten. 
 


Hot damn! The first page is a laser copy of the cover. Honestly, if this is not the best book made and remade in the last decade we really don't know what is. 
 

The best aesthetic. The colour laser copy. Breaking back into the office at night to make one-off books like this. Not our office obviously. But in the nineties - when we worked in other people's offices :)
 

The re-work. Each photocopy loses something but becomes something else. The loss is your gain.

This is basically a painting, right? 
 

It does not require explanation. It only needs to be looked at. And - for the quick and brave and the definite and decisive - it needs to be bought. One of only fifty copies that sold out on release six years ago.
