MICRO LIBRARY BOOKS
Micro Library Books is an independent publishing platform specialising in the design and production of pocket-sized, limited edition books and packaging. Established in January 2012 we launched the first of our limited edition book works ‘Engineerium Micro Library’ at Publish and Be Damned Book Fair, ICA, London. A new focus for 2017 is collaborating with illustrators, writers and photographers to produce limited edition, co-created book works. This document contains details of the Micro Library format created especially for featured artists.
