About the event
Join our Free Book Club. Bring a photobook. Any photobook.
Bring a photobook and tell us about it. It can be your favourite, one you've made yourself, your family album, or any book of photos you like and have stories to tell about. Big, fat, small, thin, weird, boring, not very cool, or very cool, it all counts. Nothing needs to be a masterpiece, and you don't need to know anything about publishing to come along.
If you've made a book, bring the wrong version too, the dummy, the reject proof, the one with the colour that never came right.
Tell stories behind books, how a book came into your hands is a story as well: bought in a shop you can no longer find, sent by a friend, inherited, rescued from a charity shop, made by a grandparent who never called it a photobook.
