Yes, people still read books, and in all flavors. Nowhere is this more evident than at the annual Marché de la Poésie at Place Saint Sulpice (75006), ending tomorrow (Monday). About 100 small publishers have come together to offer this year’s crop of hand-made, limited edition poetry, prose and art books. Many are precious letter-press or even rubber-stamped book objects while others are the labors of love of word, paper and hand-binding. Publishers like Red Fox Press are pushing the limits of what exactly is a book, combining silkscreen sheets, photocopy pages and objects in a series of “box books.” Among these are the “assembling boxes,” collections of signed and numbered artist editions that sell for 15 – 25 euros each. Red Fox Press has one copy of my collaborative edition with Swiss artist Fritz Sauter, Adventures in a Box; inside are 26 works in letter press, collage, altered objects, rubber stamp. “It’s like an entire exhibition“…in a box!” says publisher Francis Van Maele.
