Hello Everyone,
We just received our copy of Gordon Matta-Clark's book by Phaidon Pr (ISBN 0714839167). Acquisitions was going to send it back because the center of the spine is cut out. Fortunately, they called me to take a look at it. I noticed that while the spine has been cut out, it was neatly done. Further, when I opened the book and looked at its content, images with cut-outs, I figured it's simply great packaging.
I showed it to my colleagues in reference and they are divided whether it was done intentionally or by mistake. Any of you have a copy of this book and noticed the cut out spine?...you wouldn't have missed it.
Thanks.
-Mario
