The final paper is devoted to the rather new phenomenon in the world of books – to the artist’s copyright book. It is thirty years old only, however, already three exhibitions of “artist’s” book were arranged. Objective of the final paper is to show historical development of the book origin and finishing with modern book and book’s form, destination, material changes are considered here. These are Sumerian clay tables and Egyptian papyrus and the Middle Ages’ manuscripts and the book which today we cal call classic with its canons and standards. Simultaneously, development of post services is analysed also as it was an integral part of the book. Analysis of book development is the context in which today “artist’s” book forms. This is like a new phenomenon, deliberately denying traditions, both of form and material, and finally of function of the book in all world of art, in which attention is drawn to the concept, individuality, where traditions are deliberately avoided and the escape from traditions also becomes a tradition.
