Lot Essay

"Books are precious objects.... A book is a medium with a distinct message. As an object, it is, of course, cold and dead. But it is also an active mediator between the word of the author and that of his readers. It somehow has a life and energy of its own." (In: "Paradox and Ambiguity", Artnews, June, 1996, p. 105.)
