we love your books
is a collaboration between

Melanie Bush, Senior Lecturer in Graphics/Illustration
The University of Northampton, UK
and
Dr Emma Powell, Senior Lecturer in Graphics/Illustration
De Montfort University, Leicester, UK

As well as teaching bookmaking and making our own
experimental bookworks we collaboratively curate a yearly
international and experimental artists' book exhibition.
This is open to all. Our exhibitions are ‘not for profit’
– we do them because
we love books.
