Books are a meeting place. A sum of their many parts and artistic approaches. Form, concept, material and craft are bound together to create something rooted in its functionality, a process that often crosses over into the messier realm of art. Books. Art, Craft & Community presents a thriving ecosystem of papermakers, printers, bookbinders, artists, designers and publishers from round the world. They draw on traditional skills, art and experimentation to make books that matter today. In twenty-six profiles - spanning traditional craftspeople to modern makers reimagining the book for new audiences – and contributions from experts, we are given an insight into the history and contemporary context of the processes behind the books. Selected by Simon Goode and Ira Yonemura of the London Centre for Book Arts, these artists and makers share a spirit of curiosity and resilience. They not only adapt to new ways in which readers engage with books, but are forging new possibilities for their craft along the way.

Produced by the London Centre for Book Arts, this publication introduces the reader to a wonderful world of artisanal paper and ink makers, typographers, printers, bookbinders, artists, publishers, and booksellers. Take a peek into the universes of 30 craftspeople and makers located around the world, from Tokyo to New York. Some still follow age-old techniques, while others use the latest modern technologies, or even a combination of both. With ?Books: Art, Craft & Community? we not only understand how a book is put together and comes to be, but also gain insight into the dynamic ecosystem and colourful individuals and teams that elevate book production into an art form in itself.
