GiftED: The Tale of 10 Mysterious Book Sculptures Gifted to the City of Words and Ideas

Telling the story of the work of one highly talented and generous artist, this book details the paper sculptures left on a table in the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh. One day in March 2011, staff noticed a wonderful sculpture, carved from paper and mounted on a book. It bore a tag expressing support for the library’s work. From then until November 2011, nine more mysterious paper sculptures appeared in arts venues throughout Edinburgh, including the National Library of Scotland, the Filmhouse cinema, the National Museum of Scotland, and the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Left anonymously, new sculptures appeared unexpectedly. This book is updated to include the latest paper sculptures that were revealed during Book Week in November 2012.
