Perimeter Books

Perimeter is a specialised bookstore, award-winning publisher, distribution house and platform for various art publishing endeavours in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 2011, Perimeter Books stocks a selective range of independently published books, editions and zines spanning photography, art, theory, text and the more lateral ends of design and architecture. The store also curates an active program of exhibitions, talks, launches, workshops and consultations, and co-presents Volume: Another Art Book Fair with Printed Matter Inc. (NY) and Artspace (Sydney). In 2012, Perimeter launched its in-house publishing imprint Perimeter Editions, which has since gone on to publish more than seventy titles, winning several awards and exhibiting at key art book fairs in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Perimeter Editions also publishes two biennial book prizes – the Perimeter Small Book Prize and the PHOTO x Perimeter International Photobook Prize.
