FAU Libraries Jaffe Center for Book Arts revolves around the Arthur and Mata Jaffe Collection: Books as Aesthetic Objects. This collection consists primarily of visual books gathered more for their artistic expression than for their informational content. Words and text were not the primary consideration in building this collection, which has been assembled within a wide parameter of aesthetics and book structures (including books that defy traditional structure completely). Visit the JCBA to view the wide array of books in many artistic styles. The JCBA digital collections below focus on the more easily digitized broadside collections housed in the center and Book Arts newsletters from JCBA.
