David Goldblatt: In Boksburg: Books on Books No. 7 is a study of David Goldblatt's seminal 1982 photobook. The volume reproduces all 71 of his iconic, unsettling black-and-white photographs documenting the everyday life of a regulated, middle-class white community in apartheid-era South Africa.

The Errata Editions: Books on Books series is uniquely relevant to the Bushwick sur Seine collection due to its fascinating concept of reproducing a book within a book. Rather than a standard facsimile or replica format, these editions present the original work with its own physical pages and margins visibly documented. While this approach was likely conceived to navigate copyright complexities surrounding long out-of-print titles, the resulting act of reprinting, recontextualizing, and reappropriation aligns perfectly with the core themes of this archive.
