Kickshaws Press, founded in Paris in 1979 by British typographer and writer John Crombie (1941–2024) together with artist Sheila Bourne, specializes in artist’s books, visual poetry, typographic games, and system books. Their publications are distinguished by their often limited print runs, particularly inventive artisanal craftsmanship, and graphic elements that blend text, images, cutouts, folds, and reading games, placing them at the intersection of contemporary bibliophilia, experimental poetry, and the book as object. Included are: - Cross Pointe Paper Corporation. *Burning Questions*. On opaque torchglow paper. 1990. Square in-8, paperback. A SET OF 7 VOLUMES.
