our small press fair brings all the depictions of Englishmen by 19th-century Japanese printmakers to the yard. and they're like, wow, I really enjoy browsing books from a range of very small, small, independent, underground, and other presses based on the island of Ireland and from abroad.
two men sit at a breakfast table in a 19th-century print by Utagawa Yoshitora (Metropolitan Museum's Open Access collection). One is reading a book. Speech balloons have been applied. One says, "I got this book at the first annual DUBLIN SMALL PRESS FAIR. November 28 + 29, 2025. Pearse St Library. free + open to all." The other says, "how delightful. I shall attend". At the lower edge is information about the event's sponsors—Dublin City Council, Dublin UNSECO City of Literature, Poetry Ireland, Publishing Ireland, and Skein Press. The URL (dublinsmallpressfair.com) appears at the right edge.

"The inventory is whatever will fit into two rucksacks and two carrier bags. To be hauled, on foot, between tram, train and tube. City to city.​ One year to the next."
