"Art is not found only in the painter's studio or in the halls of a museum, it also has its place in the store, the shop, the factory, and the home...

In fact, when art is reserved as the province of professional artists, a dangerous gulf develops between the fine arts and the everyday arts. The fine arts are elevated and set apart from life, becoming too precious and therefore irrelevant. Having banished art to the museum, we fail to give it a place in ordinary life. One of the most effective forms of repression is to give a thing excessive honor."

Thomas Moore, "Care for the Soul."

Banned Books makes a point of condemning the way censored books were burned in previous generations (they always select admirable books, like Huckleberry Finn or Brave New World, of course). Can we build an opposite idea, in which wonderful books that could iconically represent Beautiful Books? What would this look like?
