This is a small exhibit of books transformed by artists. The artists don't merely illustrate the book, they use the text as inspiration to create a work of art. They bring the book to life, but also use the book itself as part of the artwork. Some of the works retain the shape and look of the book, others move beyond that and take the book apart to make an entirely new work.
Verdict: Go see this lovely little show. It's tucked away in the National Gallery on the ground floor, so it may take a few minutes to find it. It's easily managed in a lunch hour, so you might combine it with a visit to another show.
