Matisse: The Books, Louise Rogers Lalaurie Thames & Hudson, £65 ISBN 9780500021682. 'Everything in the world exists to end up as a book/ wrote the poet Stephane Mallarme, encapsulating his vision of an ideal tome to end all tomes. Perhaps nowhere has this rapt fetishisation of the printed volume been more persistent than in France, a country that still boasts, even in this age of discounted literacy, a vibrant book culture and, even in this age of Amazon, a tenacious bookstore economy. As Louise Rogers Lalaurie explains in her study of Henri Matisse's artist books, it was the same Mallarme who in the 1870s launched the tradition of the French livre d'artiste, when he and Edouard Manet collaborated on illustrated editions of his translation of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven' and his own 'L'apres-midi d'un faune' (decades before Debussy or Nijinsky got hold of it).
