The social life of the book

The second publication edited by Recreo Art Books is a research project on contemporary editorial practices, in collaboration with editor Sara Arroyo (Tambourine).

"The Social Life of the Book" seeks to answer a series of questions that allow us to decipher the structure of book distribution in the context of independent publishing. Through testimonials from publishers, bookstores, fairs, collectors, libraries, projects, and hybrid profiles, the book takes readers on a journey through the different spaces that books inhabit once they have been published, as well as the various dynamics to which they are subject. A bilingual publication (Spanish and Valencian), with texts and images from more than 20 participants from all over the world.
