Accordion Books


The  concertina format lends itself well to a linear open-poetic reading this is why I want to utilise this format for my project




There  are some more great examples in this brilliant blog about all things concertina;

The Birth of the Machine Consciousness by Jonathan Rosen 



This is The Birth of the Machine Consciousness by Jonathan Rosen A beautifully made concertina book that we have in our cabinet in the studio.  the structure of this book influenced my decisions on how to construct my final book. I really like the white on black embossed drawings on the coverings,   this is another good example of way   concertinas  lend themselves to an open poetic reading.
