A second edition of this gloriously absurd book. The first edition, now out of print, recreated the original 1922 Shakespeare and Co. edition in appearance (the particular blue of the cover was painstakingly recreated) and volume; it was a large, bulky thing. Much of that bulk was made up of empty pages, except for two essays. This second edition is similarly bulky but was designed afresh by Morgan, the legendary publisher and designer who died in September. It contains the same two essays as in the first edition: a visual essay by Morgan, ‘Kind of Blue,’ and an essay on the ‘non-literary’ aspects of the book: its jackets, blurbs, ads, price tags and devlelopment ‘from modernist work… to cultural artefact’.
