The Wilco Book (2004,
ISBN
0-9713670-3-5) is an exploration of the artistic statement presented by the band
Wilco. Artwork created by the band, photographer
Michael Schmelling, and
mixed media artist
Fred Tomaselli is interspersed with comments from the band, technicians, and managers, as well as essays by
Henry Miller and
Rick Moody, and poetry from
Bern Porter's collection
Found Poetry. Interviews were conducted by
PictureBox, who edited and designed the book (which is credited to Wilco and Picturebox with photography by Michael Schmelling). Packaged with the book is a
CD of previously unreleased experimental music, which is discussed in the first appendix by
Mikael Jorgensen, who produced and played on the sessions before he formally joined Wilco.
