What do you think when you hear the word ‘book’? An object made of pages, ink and glue or the smooth screen of an iPad? While online books are sold to the public as the future of publishing, there has been a growth in sensual, seductive and handmade publications. Think McSweeneys (USA) and Fuel (UK).
Hear publishers talk about their love of printing beautiful publications and luxuriate over the feel, smell and tactility of these old-school methods.
The forum includes Joseph Allen Shea (Izrock / Monster Children Gallery), Suzanne Boccalatte (Boccalatte / Trunk Books), Kernow Craig (Blood & Thunder Publishing Concern / The Rizzeria), Robert Milne and Sinisa Mackovic (Rainoff Books) and Johanna Featherstone (The Red Room co.)
