In this episode of Book Making as an Art Form, I sit down with Jhen Chen, director of Limestone Books - a small but visionary art bookshop in Maastricht that’s redefining what publishing spaces can be.

We explore how Limestone began as an idea among friends and grew into a community-led hub that resists traditional publishing norms. Jhen shares:

• Limestone Books: from concept to community hub
• Radical experimentation in art publishing: what does It really mean?
• The power of local: why Limestone Books prints locally
• The art of running a bookshop: balancing business and community

Listen now and forward it to someone who believes books can change the world.
