For more information about how to submit the materials listed in this guide for a tour material request, please see our page on Requesting Materials for a Class or Tour.
The Artists' Books Guide lists some of the artists' books in our collections: these are unique or one-of-a-kind art pieces that may take the form of a book and challenge our ideas about what books are and what they can be.
For the complete listing of artists' books held in Special Collections, see the artists' book subject heading in our book catalog.
We recommend actively engaging with the list, doing further research in the catalogs, and being selective about item choices in order to align material types and item contents with your visitor group.
If you choose materials from this guide, please select some of the items listed, rather than requesting everything. There is limited space available on the Reading Room display tables, and Special Collections staff reserve the right to adjust the number of material requests submitted for the safety of our rare books and archival collections
