     Sorted Books - Asymptote Journal presents a slideshow from the latest exhibition by Nina Katchadourian, who creates artworks (usually photographs) by arranging books so that the titles can be read in sequence, often as spine piles, rather than covers. This latest set of photographs uses volumes from the Delaware Art Museum’s M. G. Sawyer Collection of Decorative Bindings. The gentle reader, the curved blades, the literary guillotine is my fave, I think. Link via the Melville House blog, where you will see an example of the spine-based work as well.
