The Woven Prayer Book - Cocoon to Codex

This book explores five examples of this rare art form in great detail. Profusely illustrated throughout in color. Measures 6.5" x 9" with 68 pages. This is the first book published in the Satellite Series involving Sandra Hindeman. In excellent condition with no marks of any kind.
