The Memory Palace

This book is about extinct birds of North America. The Memory Palace is a (fictitious) museum in which extinct birds live as if they were alive. The book has 7 bound pages, each with a pocket for the actual folded pages of the book. The first page ... describes how the Memory Palace was established. There is a page for each of four extinct North American birds (Passenger Pigeon, Great Auk, Carolina Parakeet, Ivory-Billed Woodpecker - which may or may not be extinct) a page for a threatened, almost extinct California Condor, and a final page with an afterword and a colophon. Each of the pages, except the afterword, has three text components - a factual description, an interview with the bird, and a comment by the curator of the museum.--Artist's statement, from bookseller's website (http://www.vampandtramp.com/finepress/r/red-parrot-press.html#global, accessed 24 October 2017).
