Welcome.

Hello there and welcome to the Art Books with Rowan Morrison blog. Rowan Morrison is a contemporary art gallery and artist's bookstore in Oakland, California. This blog will be an ongoing discussion on art books, self-publishing, zines, and other related topics. You'll find books reviews and images, interviews and discussions with artists, publishers, and other folks, my own experiences with art book publishing and selling, a couple of how-to articles, and other related topics. Plus, I plan on having links to artists and hopefully the opportunity to directly purchase books from the blog via Rowan Morrison's online bookstore.

I'm still getting the hang of blog designing, so stay tuned and I'll get more images and perma-links and all that fancy stuff coming at you soon. I hope to get lots of people in on the discussions, so if you have anything you would want to see reviewed or discussed here, post a comment or email me at info@rowanmorrison.com. In the meanwhile, feel free to check the ever-growing selection of fine art books, prints, and paper goods online at rowanmorrison.com. Or get out there into the real world and visit us in person at 330 40th St. in Oakland (Thurs-Sun 12-7).
