Many of us have robust collections of our fellow publishers’ work, sourced from Art Book Fairs, independent bookstores, and directly from each other. Unlike other art forms, we can AFFORD to buy and support the work we make. We become collectors of artist-made publishing without even thinking about it. We do not need rich people to fund our work; we NEED each other and our community to ensure we have the means to continue our work.
his essay speaks to my archiving and collecting ethic and my overall love of publications. The catalyst for Publisher as Librarian / Publisher Is Archivist was the desire to keep this essay in print. This new collection now starts with this essay as the opening chapter and as a new way of looking at myself as an imperfect librarian and archivist.
