Welcome to Dear books, Amsterdam’s newest art book fair where printed matter, artistic practice, and community come together.
As part of UNFAIR26, the first edition of Dear books, brought together the work of 60 publishers and independent art book makers from around the world, selected through an open call.
Visitors could browse artist publications, editions, zines, experiments, printed conversations, unlikely archives, quiet obsessions and ideas that simply insisted on becoming print.
Browse. Collect. Read. Don’t read.
