From Brooklyn Rail:

“HEART: A Collection of Artists’ Books for Libraries, Museums, and Collectors” a 1980 mailer, offers a curated list of 200 books designed for institutional collecting. It also includes a “Letter to Librarians” by Clive Phillpot that notes, “When a library acquires a bookwork it is effectively adding primary art to its collection, and at small expense.”

A very rare copy of this landmark catalog in excellent shape.
