March 6, 2023Good morning. 🌤️ We have a special announcement. Today, we'll be debuting our new monthly guide to the best English-language art books. Edited by our editorial coordinator Lakshmi Amin, the list will allow us to highlight some of the best monographs, biographies, artist books, catalogues, and art historical tomes that come across our desks. We've also partnered with Bookshop to organize a page that includes all the titles and allows you to purchase them while supporting small booksellers. If you want to learn more about why Hyperallergic supports Bookshop and its mission, check out our announcement back in 2020, which outlines the reasons the indie platform is a great choice for all book lovers. And to be sure you don't miss future editions, update your newsletter preferences to get our Books newsletter.
