Printed Matter presents the L.A. Art Book Fair, a unique showcase of artists’ books, catalogues, monographs, periodicals and zines. Hundreds of international presses, booksellers and independent publishers from around the world come together to hawk their wordy wares at this not-to-be-missed event at Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design South Campus complex (950 S Raymond Ave and 870 S Raymond Ave). Peruse naughty pulp paperbacks, catalogues full of fancy modern art and books that you don’t really “read” so much as just admire—all while attending workshops or listening to music on the rooftop. Admission is free on Sunday.
