2008 is the first year in which Glasgow will be host to an International Artists Book Fair.
The event will showcase a huge range of work produced by local, UK-based and international artists. Books as artworks, books about books, books about bookbinding, old-style letterpress books, audio books, funny & weird books and even books with nothing in them can be seen and bought.
It is a rare opportunity to access such artworks, meet the creators and purchase some original artworks, without breaking the bank.
There will also be the possibility of participating in bookbinding workshops run by The Society of Bookbinders.
This exciting event takes place in the prestigious Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and is presented as part of the Glasgow international Festival of Contemporary Visual Art 2008.
