Newbown states that this book was made as a response to the dichotomy between the book as an object and as a container of information: “A book is a difficult thing to define because half of it is object and half is an abstract concept. Is a book the sum of certain requisite characteristics? If a book has no pages is it still a book? If it cannot be opened is it still a book? These are the things I like to ask as I make my books. My artist’s books are a way of questioning bookishness".
