CP Books addition to the collection

: Black Forest by Luke Shaw, recently gifted by CP Books after its launch a couple of weeks ago ✨ The book uses the form of the ephemera box to loosely hold 30 photographs printed on polyester transparency film, and a recording on cassette. The unfixed structure allows the reader to form the narrative of the text through engaging with it. This is one of only twenty copies, so we feel very lucky to have it in our collection!
