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

Fantastic website for unique art and craft books

I love this store, I have found so many unique titles, both for myself and as gifts for friends and family. There are always fantastic offers and the delivery and service is second-to-none. Plus it’s great to be able to support a smaller business and not continue to put money in the pockets of you-know-who.
