Book description:

"The sixties provided a special new way of seeing books, which were recognized as an artistic medium of incomparable effectiveness for reaching the most recondite places, and gaining independence from the traditional channels of distribution of works of art.

This project is an overview of the books and magazines by Spanish artists produced from the 60s to today’s boom, showing the wealth of a largely unknown cultural heritage."
