Following the sad closure of MA BIB’s former distributor ANAGRAM in Berlin, we have had stock returned which means some books that were thought to be out of print or were out of stock are available again (in very small quantity). Some books will be ‘bundled’ and available at a keen special offer price. These will appear here slowly over the next few weeks,
when the Editor can bear to do it.
SPECIAL BUNDLES

At MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE we are delighted and thrilled to see Isabella Streffen’s FABULAE selected by Eley Williams in Granta Books of the Year, aptly entwined with Tomoé Hill’s SONGS FOR OLYMPIA.

MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE was at Miss Read. The Berlin Art Book Festival & Fair, Friday 22 to Sunday 24 September, at Haus der Kulturen Welt (HKW). There were 340 exhibitors from 52 countries. Timothy Mathews and Simon Wortham were signing their books on Saturday 23 September.
Founded in 2009, MISS READ is dedicated to building a community and creating a public meeting place for discourse around artists’ books, conceptual publications and publishing as artistic and political practice. The festival is committed to broaden the spectrum of what publishing represents and aims to nurture different cultures and communities from around the world.

MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE’s new book bag for the summer is here, in an edition of fifty, bearing another quotation from Sylvain Maréchal’s tract on why women should not be taught to read. A hasty translation: women who boast of being able to read and write well are not those who know how to love the best. Wit and talent chill the heart.
