"The only criteria used to make the selection for this catalog is quality, if books are cheap or expensive, politically correct or not, bound or shapeless, doesn't interest us. Tired of senseless discussions about who has got the right to speak about what is an artists' book or not, we propose a selection of some of the most interesting and finest publishers and dealers showing and making books. If a book is a good book in its genre it will find its place. The most important goal of ArtistBook International is to stimulate interest in publications by artists. To realize this, we inaugurated our annual Salon. We also organize lectures and exhibitions, publish catalogs and bibliographies, as well as consult private and institutional collectors who are in the process of building reference libraries and collections of original artists' books and livres de peintres."
