III.About
is a publishing house and cultural platform dedicated to the circulation and distribution of overlooked stories.
Each publication invites a contemporary artist to select a book in the public (or private) domain and to respond with an artwork. This can be visual, sonic or textual; we find a way to print it as a detachable sleeve.
We then send the two together, in a hand-wrapped package, to a network of subscribers, asking the artist and asking ourselves, why this book, and why now?
Sometimes we work with small presses and publishers we admire. More recently we publish ourselves, working with talented translators, our editor Madeleine Willis and Mount Street Printers. Our design is by Maria Candanoza.
Often the publication contains messages found only by those who hold the books physically. Sometimes it arrives at meeting places, from , to the scorpion-shaped fortress of , to legendary bookshops like and . We host dinners and public readings, exhibitions and performances to bring these books to life through you, the reader.
Sendb00ks is as buoyant and transforming as the stories it sends.
Since 2018, Sendb00ks has been entirely self-funded and supported by its subscribers. It is a non-commercial publication and carries no advertising in its printed matter. It has sent thousands of books worldwide, invites everybody and contains real, meditated, and impressive writing.
