Joseph Cornell's Manual of Marvels: How Joseph Cornell reinvented a French agricultural manual to create an American masterpiece Details
From Bookforum While only sixty pages have been printed for this facsimile edition (the rest are included on an interactive CD), they amply demonstrate the entrancing, evocative poetics of this redemptive art: Cornell took a discarded book, did something to it, and made it so new that over a century later we can peruse with delight the marvels to be found amid French farm facts. —Albert Mobilio Read more Review “[A] unique publishing event.” - Gallery & Studio Read more

I wish they had this when I was a kid taking art classes. I have showcased this to so many ppl, and they love it to. Great for gifts or coffee table book.
