Small oblong quarto. (23)ff. A sample book containing 97 different tipped-in examples of paste papers made by Cohen from 1989 to 1999. The samples are pleasingly arranged so that similar designs are next to each other. Many are intricate and abstract, while others are fluid and organic. The final sample in the book is an entire fold-out sheet featuring a swirling pattern. The title page and colophon also use Cohen’s paste papers: the colophon text is printed in gold on an aqua background, while the title page has the title printed in gold. Bound in gray paste paper-covered boards, with an undulating pattern and a leather spine label. Housed in a black cloth box with edges and interior lined with green paste paper.
