In the 1990s, the artists Komar and Melamid began polling art lovers to discover the world’s ideal painting. I’m curious to learn whether we can use similar methods to discover the ideal book. The short survey below, which I put up over the weekend at library ad infinitum, is a start. The resulting data, I hope, will yield a picture of the ideal book sufficient to save the publishing industry as we know it. Check back or subscribe for the full report, to be delivered at a date to be determined. Thanks for contributing!
