CHANGES

The Artists' Book site is changing. I have felt recently that this site has become overcrowded, so the idea is to allow the site to concentrate on Aragó Press publications and experimental work in the area of artists' books. The information which is at present on this site will, at some stage in the future, be concentrated on a new site called bookarts.info where pages will be available on a broad range of topics relating to the history and the practical side of producing books.
This site has recently experienced a sustained attack. I believe that I have managed to rescue all the pages and images. However if you find a problem, or for any other reason, please contact me at:

ARTIST'S BOOKS / BOOK ARTS / LIVRES D'ARTISTES

This Artist's Book site contains background material about books made by artists where the idea of the book is interpreted very broadly. The site contains pages relating to the printing and making of books and is concerned with experimentation as well as with the tradition of fine printing. There are also sections on printing presses, type founding and methods of printing illustration, from woodcuts to digital printing. The Private Press now has its own page.
This site is now listed on INTUTE; the UCLA library; as well as DMOZ, the Open Directory Project, which is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web.
