Book Hook: Best Of

Book Hook: Best Of

The grey beginning of a new year seems like an appropriate time to look back at some of the best books spotted within the last year, especially now that you have probably cashed in on all of the returnable and unwanted gifts received over the holidays. I know the money is burning a hole in your pocket.

 

The Book Hook column for Bigs started out in Fall 2011 as a place to share my favorite artist books gracing the tables of Berlin’s fine bookstores. A recent slight shift in approach aims to acquaint our readers with Berlin’s publishers and provide the opportunity to submit your own book projects for review.

 

Submissions are still encouraged, and you can find more information about how your book could appear in a future Book Hook here. Make it happen!
