Above is an image of our books in a new display in the Treasures Room at the British Library: “Meeting Point”, “Hatbox” and “Printess & the ‘p” are still available (editions are very limited) and further information is available on request.
The British Library Contemporary British Collection has long supported p's & q’s Press, first acquiring some of Christine Tacq’s small books from the Sleep Walking Through Trees series printed between 1996 and 1998.
Contemporary artists’ books are currently celebrated with a dedicated cabinet in The Treasures Gallery. It is so exciting to see the form find its place amongst some of the most important publications and documents in the world. We are honoured that Meeting Point by Leonie Lachlan and Hatbox by Christine Tacq have been selected to feature in this display.
Adjacent to the Art of The Book is a collection of books illustrating the history of printing. Printess & the ‘p’ is placed at the opposite end of the cabinet from the Diamond Sutra, the first ever printed book.
