autobiographical book

one of the assignments in my book design class was to use an accordion binding for an autobiographical project. i decided to use song lyrics and created an alphabet set out of linoleum and glued them onto blocks to print them, letter by letter. (there are 158 letters total.) the color of the letters starts out primarily black with a few blue letters, then gradually changes to blue at the other end. the song lyrics read across all six panels, so when you page through the book normally, it looks like gibberish.
the cover is a reed-imprinted handmade paper that i got from the cornell university bookstore.
