"Photobook Is – Did You Mean Photo Book Is" explores the little-known but fascinating world of photobook print on demand. The book, created using artificial intelligence, has two sections to read in order or randomly. First section scrutinises the ‘photobook’ term, including colloquial, vernacular, technical, academic, theoretical and artistic uses of the term.

Second section contains photographs, diagrams and technical drawings of patent publications related to software applications for automatic photobook production and print-on-demand.
