How Would You Include a Book on a Portfolio for Printmaking?

[scribbulus]

I am attempting to help my daughter with her portfolio. Her undergrad BFA was in Printmaking. She took a summer course in which the final object was to produce a book. She wrote an original story, did simple wood prints to illustrate it, scanned the prints in, had the pages printed by the university print shop, then hand bound the book and produced a cover an end pages for it. Does anyone have any ideas how to represent that in a portfolio. I considered using the book itself as the image and then a couple of the pages as the detail that's allowed for a couple of the items. It's a children's ABC type book, so it's not like it's a novel, but I think the whole thing would be too much. We can't find any information on this topic, so thought I'd see what the opinions are here. Thanks in advance.

She can make a limited Google-Book preview kind of file, showing front and back covers, with introductory pages and few pages from the beginning, middle and end of the book. Attaching a description-page in the beginning, giving details of when, how and why the book was produced, its subject matter and the nature of readership will make the context clear to the selection committee.
