JAB15, spring 2001, 32 pages, printed on the Heidelberg at Nexus Press, Atlanta by BF.
Cover designed by Karen Tauches.

JAB15 is the catalogue for the exhibition Book Unbounds, curated by Cathy Byrd and held at the Dalton Gallery, the McCain library and the Bradley Observatory on the campus of Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia, January 15, 2001 to March 30, 2001.

“The premise of Book Unbound, an exhibition that leaps through time—from early book forms to hypertext, is innately problematic. For what is a book without its binding? In fact, the book’s meaning and shape have evolved, and some artists and writers have contemporized or discarded its traditional framework. In response, concerns have been raised about the book’s loss of integrity and imminent demise. This show investigates the mediums transmutations, proving that thoughtful hybridization has only intensified the potent aesthetic of books.” —Cathy Byrd, curator
