The Book Inscriptions Project started in 2002 when I opened a book from the shelf of an underground Manhattan bar. Inside the book I found this inscription:
'Joey, I love you so much! You have surpassed the definition for all. I will always cherish our orgasmic moments. Love + resistance, Mark,'
Something about that note, handwritten by an unknown to an unknown of whose whereabouts, gender and relationship I was unaware, struck me as both tragic and powerful. Since then I've been searching for more inscriptions and, after poring through thousands of books at garage sales, libraries and book sales, I now have a large and ever-growing collection.
