3D Bookshelves

Using photogrammetry, Dr Gabriel Bodard has created two 3D bookshelves showing selections of 'Seized Books'.

Shelf of Mass Market "Seized Books"

This 3D image depicts some of the 'mass market' titles that were seized during 'Operation Tiger'. The books are all paperbacks, and have brightly illustrated covers, and coloured fore-edges - on this shelf, they show the colours red, yellow, and green. These books are published by Avon Books, Pinnacle Books, New American Library, and Dell Publishing Company.

Shelf of Literary "Seized Books"

This 3D image depicts some of the 'literary' titles that were seized during 'Operation Tiger'. The books are mostly hardbacks, published by Grove Press, St. Martin's Press, Barrie & Rockliff, W.H Allen, Anthony Blond, and Alfred A. Knopf. Two paperbacks, published by Gay Sunshine Press and Pagan Press, are included. Some of the covers contain merely the author and title, although the shelf shows the front cover illustration by Djuna Barnes from her novel Ryder and a detailed character list from the back cover of John Rechy's The Vampires.
