James Castle: His Life & Art
by Tom Trusky (BSU)

The sold-out, award-winning, first edition biography of Outsider and deaf and/or autistic Idaho artist/bookmaker James Castle (1899-1977) has been completely revised and updated.

This Smythe-sewn second edition contains over 150 illustrations (including 60 new b&w and color photographs—and a map), plus two new chapters with revelations about Castle’s education, medical condition, and his recently-discovered Early Attic books.

An appendix of sources, a comprehensive, selected bibliography and a helpful index conclude this publication from The Idaho Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Library of Congress Center for the Book.
