Book Dealing

This is an offering of recognition and appreciation to the following book dealers and interventionists who each seem committed to finding spaces to honour the physicality of printed matter and celebrate its cultural importance. Idea Books, Donlon Books, and @Artbook Their activities which push paper into hands feels a little like a resistance movement within a dominant post-industrial, informational age, that seems all about service and speed a less about reflection. I feel a little militant today or nostalgic, maybe both.
