When is a book not a book? When it's a blook--a book-like object. This summer's Rare Book School lecture by Mindell Dubansky, the world expert on these pseudo-books, is available on YouTube. https://youtu.be/SsTUbRhUYDs?feature=shared

From his posthumously published Calligrammes (1918), a collection of poems in which typeface + arrangement of words on the page add to their meanings: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/apollinaire-s-calligrammes-1918 #otd

Someone described the election security conference I just ran as "boring people talking about exciting things in too much detail" and I think they nailed our brand.

@overholt Ha ha, quite the description of his work: "[Gorey] became renowned for offbeat and often macabre subject matter in a 'sinister-slash-cosy' style that was both humorous and unnerving."

Sinisterly cosy...
