Sendb00ks is a publishing project.
Since 2018, we have been discussing our favourite books with artists and sharing the conversations.
Every month or so, we commission an artist to design an artwork to complement their favourite book, wrapping it around as a limited edition detachable sleeve. We then distribute copies to our network of readers. Sometimes, the artist lets us print a poem, short story, or essay that can only be read by those who hold the books physically. For over seven years, we have been hand-wrapping, posting, and signing them in brown recycled paper from our homes.
We want to know what books are on your shelves and bedroom floors - which books changed your life, and which ones you go back to every night. We believe that conversations surrounding literature should always be open and accessible to everybody, wherever they live and whatever their education.
