...that is artist books.
So, me and a friend of mine (who happens to be a designer) are sort of planning to make an artist book. Problem is, we've only a faint idea as to how to make one. Stuff you find on the internet is kinda superficial (to me, at least), so I'm asking you guys for advice.
Also, any of you ever made an artist book before?

or you know - just write a book and see how people accept it. then if you want to have feedback on it while you are writing
you could come to forums and ask people to read a bit in exchange for their opinions. other than that the advise can only be :

write it. make pictures for it and then give it to people publishing books and maybe they will publish yours or you try
kickstarting your written book.

just bear in mind that the majority of the people dont care about you writing a book. so you will have to make them care.
either through superb content or marketing efforts. the majority of people in the world todays specialized in the latter. sadly tho.

best of luck
yeah i dont know the difference but i know the similarities. both are books so there u go... change "write" to "make" and my post will work with "artist books"...
not sure what you expect to hear. you make paintings or take photos - compile them and either publish yourself or with a book publisher. then you hope for the best.
