Store description
My purpose is to promote the history and tradition of books and materials in the overlapping fields of art, design, and concrete poetry. I specialize in artists' books, ephemera, art, prints, and correspondence from the 1960s onward. Beginning early 2025, I'm pleased to announce the Artifact Vibration Standard, a new evaluation system specifically devised for printed matter that facilitates the rapid identification of an object's unique characteristics by measuring its vibrational energy. More information about this novel assessment protocol can be found on The Idea of the Book website at www.theideaofthebook.com. Clientele include collectors, artists, designers, art directors, creative directors, teachers, art and design students, museums, colleges, institutions, and libraries. I occasionally issue print and electronic catalogs. If you would like to be on the mailing list, let me know. I also purchase books and collections within my fields of interest, and I help individuals and institutions build collections with a creative focus. Any and all questions can be sent to info@theideaofthebook.com. It's raining here in Shelton, WA.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
