 “This is an artist’s book version of a leaf book. We decided to reproduce Denison Library’s Gutenberg leaf to more clearly understand the risks that Gutenberg took his work of the books… This fragment became the touchstone for writing stories about risk” (from the colophon). It also contains stories printed by each student about risk-taking in the twenty-first century.
