The Palace of Typographic Masonry is an (imaginary) institute for the splendour and variety of visual languages. Invited to make a contribution to The Palace of Typographic Masonry, Esther de Vries established the The Library of Inextricable Books. This publication gives a better picture of a specific category of books collected there. Esther de Vries asked graphic designers Linda van Deursen, Catherine Guiral and Julia Born to react and extend this growing collection. And in those cases where these colleagues were involved with the the making of a book, to tell her how the book originated.
