His first book, Twentysix Gasoline Stations, was an uncompromising, nonliterary book in which the images did not simply enhance a text. This slinght volume was an artwork that utilized the commonplace codex book form. in time this book, and others by Ruscha and his successors acquired the appellation «artist's book». This phrase was adopted partly as simple description and partly to distinguish such seemingly ordinary books from luxury books.” (Engeber - Philipot).
