The House of Books has no Windows is a post on The Hickensian

The Gallery of Modern Art in Oxford has this fantastic installation, “The House of Books has no Windows”. A collaboration between Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, it’s constructed from 5000 books. Sadly, I only had my iPhone with me, so the pics aren’t great:

Truly a book sniffers delight. You can see more of the exhibition and the artists on the BBC Culture Show site.

My new book, The Icon Handbook is now available to buy! The reference manual, how-to guide and coffee-table-book-in-one for icons and pictograms.
