Description: This is a unique and captivating hardcover art photography book titled "Library of Dust" by David Maisel. This book is huge! It’s 17" tall x 13.5" wide and weighs just over 4 lbs. The book features stunning images that explore the afterlife, mental illness, and death. According to the photographer’s website: “Library of Dust depicts individual copper canisters, each containing the cremated remains of patient from a state-run psychiatric hospital. The patients died at the hospital between 1883 (the year the facility opened, when it was called the Oregon State Insane Asylum) and the 1970’s; their bodies have remained unclaimed by their families.” It is a perfect addition to any photography enthusiast's collection and is sure to spark conversations about the topic of death and the afterlife. The book is in decent shape minus a few dings to the cover (see photos). It was published by Chronicle Books LLC. It may be a first edition, I believe the copyright is 2008 (see photo). It is written in English and features a few essays. More details here: https://davidmaisel.com/works/library-of-dust/
