Good morning

I have started up a wee twitter account for the Leeds College of Art artists to vent their bookie thoughts on, Drop us a tweet on @BookFairLeeds. I've started following a few other great tweeters like @artintheunusual, @_NAP_

Yesterday a group of us from LCA interdisciplinary went down to the Merrion market in Leeds to have a look through their pretty awesome collection of zines Kunstfruend.wordpress.com some of us bought posters and screen prints as well as a few little badges. It looks like the place that would really be open to selling some of the books/zines/arty bits and bobs that we create after the book fair is over.
