we love your books is a creative collaboration between UK book artists Dr Emma Powell (De Montfort University, Leicester) and Melanie Bush (The University of Northampton). We were

also joined by Louise Bird (The University of Northampton) in 2006-7.



We make artists’ books and exhibition catalogues, teach creative book arts to our students, curate an annual open book arts exhibition and run an archive of artists’ books at The University of Northampton, UK.



This catalogue celebrates our first 5 exhibitions by presenting a selection of artists' books from each exhibition.
