Each book contains a random playcard

The Incomplete Deck is a companion publication to In Between, An Incomplete Index (2001-2026). Each copy of this small publication contains a unique random playcard drawn from the full deck. The cards function both as part of a set and as individually distributed elements, introducing a game-like logic of chance and incompleteness into the experience of the publication. The work reflects on collection, distribution, and the impossibility of totality.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
