we love your books
is a collaboration between

Melanie Bush, Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design
The University of Northampton, UK
and
Dr Emma Powell, Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design
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.
