Subject: Edible books
I have a suggestion for Torsten Adair's artist book project that can be eaten. You are missing something very important. This is called "nori," the paper made out of seaweed. Known as a wrapper for rolled sushi (maki-sush), nori was made almost same process as Japanese paper, but seaweed is used instead of kozo fiber. This is also alkaline. This can be found in the oriental grocery stores and health food stores. Are you also planning to cook that book? I wish I could have some for tasting. Good luck.
