I wrote a blog essay titled ‘pictorial literature’ at Powell’s<br />http://www.powells.com/blog/?p=1201<br />inspired by Audrey Niffenegger’s list of ten Illustrated books at amazon.

He wanted to call it a ‘collage novel’ but they said that wasn’t a good idea.<br />best<br />Eddie CampbellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15826910.post-1130184734204676452005-10-24T16:12:00.000-04:002005-10-24T16:12:00.000-04:00So true... no argument there.
