"A book is more than a verbal structure or series of verbal structures; it is the dialogue it establishes with its reader and the intonation it imposes upon his voice and the changing and durable images it leaves in his memory. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships." Borges -- Essay: "A Note on (toward) Bernard Shaw"

Secret Images:- Unpublished Borgesian photos by Sean Kernan. Really beautiful imagery. Have been researching styles in particular using photographs. Need to cut down the amount of time I'm spending in illustrator and photoshop so thought as well as including illustration I will also use photos. Want to create a really colorful mix of imagery taken from a range of disciplines. I like his use of books. The idea of showing imagery of books on a computer screen particually in the context of a hypertext novel makes me feel somewhat sad, maybe sad is the wrong word, uneasy? No thats a even worse word, unsettled.

The death of the book is not yet here, but one day it might become extinct.
