Sean O'Toole selects publications and printed matter to be exhibited in vitrines for Photo Book! Photo-Book! Photobook! Alongside these, placed behind the glass, he adds handwritten notes.

While a browsable exhibition, the vitrines serve to display those books and printed ephemera too fragile or rare to be handled by visitors, and allow for more evident thematic comparisons between spreads and images across publications.
