Accidental Interest Books

Accidental Interest Books (AIB) is a MICRO-scale publisher.
We publish intuitively following interests, our own and those of others.
AIB was established in the end of 2019 and has published their first titles in 2020.

Someone once said:

This publishing house is dedicated to the absurd, the coincidental and the surprising.
Despite the greatest possible effort in concept and design,
they negate a comprehensive publishing strategy through their small print runs.
AIB happily serves the niche.

The crows are coming north again, one by one.

Select titles are available at San Serriffe (Amsterdam), rile* books (Brussles), Kunsthalle Basel (Basel), She said (Berlin), Motto (Berlin) (trying to get out!), Labyrinth (Basel), Paranoia (Zurich), Hopscotch Reading Room (Berlin) and 3standardsstoppage (Beijing).
