Books about Town

Books about Town Unique public art event to celebrate London's literary heritage and reading for enjoyment. Summer 2014. www.booksabouttown.org.uk

Up to seventy benches shaped as open books, decorated by famous illustrators and local artists, will appear on trails around London for the public to enjoy. It will be a unique opportunity to explore the capital’s literary connections, to enjoy art from some of the country’s top artists and to experience the joy of reading for pleasure. At the end of summer 2014, all the benches will be auctioned to raise funds for the National Literacy Trust.
