As promised, another artists' book. This one is Radio-active Substances, by Susan kae Grant, and is made entirely of lead. It's meant to be "an interpretation of Marie Curie's graduate dissertation..." The 15 pages are made from a pound of lead, and contain photos and summary text relating to the discovery of Radium.
I had a few shots that give a more overall view of the book and case, but what I really like about it is the malleable metal pages, so I chose this shot over the others.
