I have been collecting artists' books for about a decade. When we moved into our new house, I wanted to build a shelf to showcase a rotating selection from my collection, to get the books out of filing cabinets, into the light of day so I can look at them, and, if you come over, you can too.

Shelf Space 1: B&W is seven books that are all black and white. From left to right:
1. Paula McCartney, On Thin Ice, In a Blizzard, 2011
