{"value"=>"<p>This series, the largest, is composed of descriptions, renderings, and sketches of Walker's books plus some finished individual pieces; most of this series consists of undated material. It is arranged into four subseries; the majority of the material in the first three subseries is handwritten. The first subseries, general notes and concepts (Walker's own title for this material), consists of background and historical material on concepts used by Walker in his books, such as alchemy and astrology. Most of this material appears to be from other sources, possibly published, while the material on mythological books is clearly written by him. It explains his mythological books as \"contemporary works representing a fusion of ancient Egypto-Ethiopian (Coptic and pre-Coptic) and Celtic book crafts\". Subseries two, book construction and structure, describes how his books are made in a general sense (material marked \"basic\") and in greater detail. This latter group contains material on different book sizes; book types, such as encaustic books, \"burned\" books, jeweled books, and books in frames; Coptic clasps; covers; decoration; and sources for purchasing materials. The third subseries, language, is comprised of notes on various ancient languages and alphabets, such as Coptic, Greek, Latin, Old English, Roman, and Phoenician. The final subseries, projects and finished work, consists of book descriptions with information such as title, date, media, and size; mockups or sketches of books, some of which were eventually completed; and completed individual works. These individual works are mostly works on paper, not books, but decorated with the same symbols, runes, and characters as the books. Many of these pieces are undated and untitled.</p>"}
