Trade Review
it is a pleasure to follow the author on her historical and taxonomic crossing of the world of mixed form, from the Renaissance and post-Renaissance cabinet of curiosities till today’s digital creations, over popular genres such as the broadsheet, the chapbook and the scrapbook – all well documented and cleverly illustrated. The visual material of the book is refreshing and often very original, while the comments are always helpful as well as consistently structured in function of the underlying general question of the link with division of labor. * Jan Baetens, Leonardo *
