Edward H Hutchins / Buildings Limited Signed Edition 1992
Title: Buildings Publication: [Mount Vernon, NY]: Editions, 1992 Edition: Limited Edition. 38 of 50 copies, 32mo size size, 19 pp. Inscribed and separately signed by Edward H. Hutchins believes that: everyone has a story to tell; that the best books are not mass-produced; and that when one let's one's imagination soar, the most amazing creations are possible utilizing, often, fairly inexpensive materials.

Thus was born - Guerilla Bookmaking. Ed Hutchins has produced at least over eighty books between the years 1968 and 2005 (perhaps more - gleaned from several sources). Always creative and frequently carrying a social justice message, Ed's books charm and delight.

His own web site offers a few books which are still in print; this volume, extolling the manifold delights of - well, buildings - is out of print and we are pleased to offer it here. This volume inscribed by the book artist thus: For Judith / Thanks for / building our friendship / over the years!
