Following on from Spike Island's first ever Artists' Book & Zine Fair in 2008, the event is back by popular demand, programmed by artist and Spike Associate Sovay Berriman. The fair will be showcasing both homegrown talent and self-published work from around the UK. The event is generously supported by Alias.
