Alembic Books is a small, independent imprint created by artist Paul Ramsay to publish limited editions of original works.
The first editions of the Alembic catalogue were made and sold between 1990-4; revised editions, as well as new and previously unreleased works, are now being published since a relaunch in 2013.
The Alembic catalogue is building to include a collection of bookworks on a range of topics in a variety of media. Books are available in paperback and hardback versions, with eBooks, box sets and special editions also being planned –see the catalogue page for a full list of Alembic publications. |
