About

Hello,

I am Guy Bigland – artist, bibliophile and owner of Books About Art.

I launched Books About Art in 2020 to offer a carefully selected range of books across a broad range of creative subjects spanning Art, Design, Photography, Illustration, Fashion, Architecture, Music and Media.

Books About Art is the only specialist bookseller offering such a comprehensive collection of Art and Design at discounted prices, many of which are quite rare in the UK.

My background is in Fine Art (Bath Academy of Art - BA 1994 and MA 2014) with my current studio practice including painting, photography and self-publishing books and printed matter.

I hope you enjoy browsing the virtual bookshelves!
Best wishes
Guy

This is the second time I have bought this book ( Ient my first copy to someone , never to be seen again !) It is fabulous read, particually if you are a techno geek as you see all their gear, and all the dialogue brings the whole thing to life. As always five star service in packaging, speed and price. If you only ever buy one book about the Beatles, buy this one

Evocative of the era

Beautifully researched and wonderfully evocative of the characters and era, as well as explaining the development of their craft, creativity and relationship. A very satisfying read.
