I've worked up a love of creative approaches to books as a physical objects since reading Tristram Shandy, like how Brakhage's Mothlight takes advantage of the physicality of film. That is, experiment with books as objects, rather than experiment in style per se.

This is a thread about that sort of thing. I'll tactically bump it for a day or two, probably. House of Leaves anon is welcome to stop by.

Yesterday I read Nick Bantock's Griffin & Sabine trilogy and today ended up logorrheically spewing all of my thoughts about it for later reference — https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3011067792 — and I thought I may as well post it here to attempt to turn it into a conversation rather than an oration into the void.

Please recommend and discuss books along the lines of Sterne's Tristram Shandy, Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, Schmidt's Zettel's Traum, Gass' The Tunnel, and Danielewski's House of Leaves.

Pop-up books unironically welcome because I haven't had much exposure to tastefully done pop-up books and I'd be glad to amend that.
