Scope and Contents
As described in the Nexus Press brochure 1995-1996, "The flags of 96 nations have been deconstructed and distilled into a playful book structure that invites reader manipulation. The physical movement of the folded accordion pleats produces staccato-like visual bites of color, while evoking a conceptual call for universal understanding and unity. The Flag Book intrigues by its outer simplicity: The glossy black colors...open to reveal an emphatic burst of bright visual connections between countries the world over."The paper structure for the book was done by Anna Wolf. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
