- "'Composite Impressions' was written and designed by Julie Chen. The fern images were photographed from an album of pressed ferns collected by Miss Mills, circa 1880, in the Sir George Grey Special Collections, Aukland Libraries, Auckland, New Zealand...The flowers were reproduced from 'Das Reich der Blumenkonigin', circa 1880, in the Special Collections at the University of Washington Libraries, Seattle, Washington"--Colophon.
- "[E]xamines the meaning of images and objects in relation to the activity of reading in today's digital age. The book presents images of natural objects and replicas of paper objects, both originating in the 1880s, combined with text that is self-referential in nature. Composite Impressions poses questions about the meaning of the reading experience, and asks the reader to assess his or her own reading process as it is occurring, both through interaction with the text and through interaction with the physical format of the book itself"--Publisher's website.
