Book Review:
"Boggs: A Comedy of Values" by Lawrence Weschler

This book follows the twisted tale of the trials of J.S.G. Boggs, an artist
who creates fanciful reproductions of world currency--by hand!--and then
"spends" his artwork to buy real things. You'll be amazed at the beauty of
Boggs' bills, laugh at the reactions he encounters as he tries to convince
shop owners to accept his creations in lieu of currency, and cry at the
heavy-handed tactics employed by the Secret Service and Bank of England to
put a stop to his shenanigans. Along the way you'll learn about the long
history of reproducing currency in fine art, and come to question the very
nature of "value" as it applies to both art and money.-OWL
