The Encyclopaedia

As a reference to how knowledge in encyclopaedias is organised, the visual information contained in 101 Ways to Long for a Home has been divided into 5 volumes. Each volume is contained in a bespoke walnut display unit, with divisions for each of the 25 books in that volume, a retractable drawer to view books, a sand timer and a drawer with gloves to handle the books.

Each volume contains a foreword, introduction, 5 chapters and an index. The chapters of each volume are titled as follows: Books about Loss, Container Books, Rupture Books, Boat Books and House Books.
