Handmade Books and the Wider World of Design
First: what this is NOT about. Private presses, fine presses, and artists all make handmade books, and they call them with various names, including press books, livres d'artiste, and artists' books. Making sense of the categories would be a book-length topic, and my analysis of the distinctions would provoke howls from partisans. So for purposes of this web page, we're going to ignore the categories and just call them all handmade books.
