Back in the early 90s, Nick Bantock released Griffin and Sabine, a sort of collage and illustrated art book. Using letters and postcards, the book weaves a story between two people with a connection to each other.
I had encountered these books when they were first published, as we had bought them as they were published, and we had thought them finished after the third book was bough, read and published. They retailed for about $15 to $20 when they were first released, so I was quite astonished to discover 3 of the 6 books today while browsing the bargain discount bin at Borders for the remaindered price of $2.99 each. Littlestar and I rummaged through them to pick out the best of the remainders -- all of them suffered from warped pages, but the warping isn't at all noticeable when reading the books. At just 2.99 per book, we walked out of there with grins on our faces like canaries that had managed to swallow the cat.
