5b is delighted to present a limited hardback edition of our debut publication by Andrew Cranston. Each cover is unique and hand-finished by the artist, using materials such as bleach, ink, correction fluid, and coloured pencil.
The edition was produced by the artist at Glasgow Print Studio, with the help of master printer Alistair Gow, and first presented by 5b at the Tokyo Art Book Fair 2024.
