Notes:
"A range of Heart Books were made as original items for the V&A gift shop for Valentine's Day. Discarded books of different size and thickness were cut right through with a jig-saw. Some hearts were hand-painted inside and outside and are removable from the main book block. The series is signed but unlimited."--Cooking the books.

Title written in manuscript on a preliminary page of one of the removeable hearts.
