‘Fistful of Books’ began life in 2012 in south west Scotland. It was founded by photographer Simon Robinson.
SimonI was inspired to start producing photozines himself after purchasing many photography zines from other publishers (mainly from Cafe Royal Books). He thought that it was a great way of presenting photography, of getting it out into the world in an affordable and easily digestible format – so why not give it a go himself. ‘Fistful of Books’ concentrates on publishing zines of urban/street and documentary photography from around the world.
As of 2016 ‘Fistful of Books’ has been located in Little Neston on the Wirral in England.
