Double Tongue
(n.p.), Blue from the Death Editions, 1990. An artist's book with text by Bell and illustrations by Jean de la Fontaine, the first of several collaborations between the two. Number 32 of 39 numbered copies signed by both the author and the artist. Unusual text by Bell: short vignettes linked by subject matter relating to deception and misunderstanding, with illustrations linked by the image of a double tongue -- a visual analogy. Thirteen unbound folios plus colophon laid into self-wrappers, the whole inserted into ribbon-tied cloth envelope. 10" x 13". Fine. [#911194] SOLD

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
