Abstract
Since my 2006 look at the scene of reading in over five hundred years of figure painting, reading conveyed with all its typically illegible pages, I've turned-along a common axis-from illegible pages to unreadable book sculpture, often appropriated and defaced volumes put out of circulation and up for display.5 These are former or fabricated textual vessels submitted to textual demediation, where the book form, all text edited out, passes into gallery space in an alternate trajectory to the transit of writing through galleys into book.
