Each artist’s book contains 50 pages of color photographs documenting the creation of an edition of Jonathan Monk posters. All ten books come in different couver colours, in original cellophane wrapping. No wonder Jonathan Monk says during a studio interview by U. G. Lambert, 26 April 2012: “… Once something has been done, it can be done again in a different colour.” This stack of ten books in different colours demonstrate this idea, in an almost sculptural way.

Bert McLean and David Kloosterboer were asking themselves what it means to be a fan of each other’s work. They began to draw each other’s work that they remembered with pencil on paper. This handmade artists book shows their drawings alternately on each page.
Each copy has either a hand stamped apple and pear on the front or back of the cover:
