So this is a fantastic website. Reed has created this hub for their artists' books collection. They've digitized many books, so you can look at books page by page. If you do enough clicking and searching to get to the individual pages, you can zoom in really far on the pages. All in all, a great artists' books resource.

How to get to the place where you zoom in: Click on the book you want to see. On this page you can watch a slide show of someone going through the book. They even start with taking the book out of its case/box. However, if you want to see individual pages zoomed in, you can click the "view in context" button next to the title of the book that is located below the slide show. Not all of the books have this option, but many do.

This database is an illustrated, descriptive index to the Artists' Book Collection, located in the Kohler Art Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Presently, the Artists' Book Collection contains over 800 titles. The database indexes approximately 760 of those titles, over 500 of which have one to four images to visually represent the structure and/or content of the book. With the goal to create a "visual finding aid" to the entire Artists' Book Collection, the database will be expanded and updated on a periodic basis.

"An online repository of facsimiles, metadata, and criticism... ABsOnline consists of files that display artists' books, exhibits, essays, and links to other collections or resource materials for this field." What I found really cool about this site is when you view a book, there is a really comprehensive profile on the right side of the page that besides providing you with the artist and publication history, also includes an 'aesthetic profile' and other comments and tidbits.
