The result is a book - published as Central Library reopens to the public - which is not a dry account of a construction project, but instead an artistic appreciation of this Romanesque wedding cake of a building at a momentous point in its history. It combines archive photography with still life studies of books, furniture and clutter. There are lovely little details such as the list of items found during renovation of the readers' tables, including an unfinished essay on James I, an Orange Club biscuit and sweet and crisp wrappers spanning several eras.
