La Vida Social del Libro
<EN> The second publication edited by Recreo Art Books consists of an investigation into contemporary publishing practices in collaboration with the publisher Sara Arroyo (Tambourine). "The Social Life of the Book" seeks to answer a series of questions that allow us to decipher the structure of book distribution in the context of independent publishing. Through the testimony of publishers, bookshops, fairs, collectors, libraries, projects and hybrid profiles, a journey is generated through the different spaces that books inhabit once they have been published, as well as the different dynamics to which they are subject. A bilingual publication (Spanish and Valencian), with texts and images by more than 20 participants from all over the world.
