English summary: Book-shaped objects have been produced for five centuries and perform a wide variety of functions-as clocks, drinking bottles, commode chairs, firearms, cookie jars, and much more. Fifty pieces, selected for their outstanding design and conceptual quality, are presented in this book. They use unmistakably formal elements of books, but take them to ever new frontiers, because-at the same time-they tie in with other types of objects. This little-known art of object combination can be experienced sensually and cognitively in use and offers astonishing insights into the cultural history of the book. German description: Buchformige Objekte werden seit funf Jahrhunderten hergestellt und ubernehmen die unterschiedlichsten Funktionen – als Uhr, Trinkflasche, Toilettenstuhl, Feuerwaffe, Keksdose u. v. m. 50 Exemplare, ausgewahlt aufgrund ihrer herausragenden gestalterischen und konzeptuellen Qualitat, werden in diesem Buch vorgestellt. Sie vereinnahmen unverkennbar formale Elemente von Buchern, fuhren sie aber an immer neue Grenzen, weil sie im gleichen Moment an andere Objektarten anknupfen. Diese wenig bekannte Kunst der Objektkombination ist im Gebrauch sinnlich und kognitiv zu erfahren und bietet erstaunliche Einblicke in die Kulturgeschichte des Buches bis in unsere Zeit, wie die kurzen Essays zeigen.
