Content descriptions
- General Note:
- No text."Published in an edition of 750 copies"--T.p. verso."Typography and production by Garrick Gott"--T.p. verso."A Field Guide to Weeds masquerades as a 19th century pocket guide, but a guide in which the weeds themselves have taken over. Becks innovative project uses the physical form of the book as a metaphor for a crack in the city sidewalk: printed in luscious five-color printing, the common dandelion, pigweed, and poison ivy-the very plants we ignore, step over, ignore, dig up, or scrupulously avoid-creep out of the gutter, up pages, and overrun the book. Multiple silhouettes overlap and repeat, drawing the readers attention to the overlooked. The book features a black silk ribbon marker. The thumbnail image shows a two-page spread from the contents of the book." Printed Matter.
