THE FURTHER READING LIBRARY is an ongoing series of books dedicated to forgotten ideas, overlooked accomplishments, and idiosyncratic world views. Each book explores — through a collection of original documents, photographs, and primary source material — a body of work, a specific topic, or an individual. Modeled on the size and range of topics of the King Penguin and Insel-Bücherei series, The Further Reading Library is edited by Christine Burgin and Andrew Lampert. Our first five books were released in April 2025.

Christine Burgin is a publisher and former gallerist. Her publications include books by Hilma af Klint, Robert Walser, Emily Dickinson, and Susan Howe and projects with artists Rodney Graham, Matt Mullican, and Allen Ruppersberg.
