The printed book is a body: it fixes ideas + creates space for thought + imagination. 
Irma Boom

At a time when printed books and independent bookstores face rapid decline, Book Activist was conceived as a direct response — a way to reconnect makers and readers, without compromise. 
This project is produced and edited by FRAGILE BOOKS, published by MUJI BOOKS, and distributed worldwide to book activists. This is not simply a book. It is a statement — held in the palm of your hand.
