What is an artist book?
An artist book is a work of art that utilizes the form/physicality of the book. Typically, these books are one of a kind, but they can also be printed in small or fine editions. Artist books are also called handmade books and are typically made by hand with the artist having a lot of control over the form, content, and structure. Artist books come in all shapes and sizes. Our smallest artist books are shelved separately on the miniature book shelf.
