Dead End Books is a subscription-based art book library. The barrier to entry for art books is uniquely expensive and exclusive, requiring either great resources or prior education and affiliation with the arts. Through a low-cost, monthly membership, you gain access to a large collection of art books. The majority of university libraries or special collections are site-specific, have a complicated application process, and don’t allow you to remove the books from the premises. We believe the books themselves are art objects and should be experienced in hand. With Dead End Books you can sit in bed and mimic artists’ sketches or pace around the living room understanding an artist's process. We want you to engage with these materials on your own terms and in your own environments.
