Perimeter

Perimeter is a specialised bookstore, award-winning publisher, distribution house and platform for various art publishing endeavours in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 2011, Perimeter Books stocks a selective range of independently published books, editions and zines spanning photography, art, theory, text and the more lateral ends of design and architecture.

In 2012, Perimeter launched its in-house publishing imprint Perimeter Editions, which has since gone on to publish more than seventy titles, winning several awards and exhibiting at key art book fairs in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Perimeter Editions’ focus rests on publishing autonomous books in close collaboration with photographers, artists, curators and writers. Its publications exhibit a criticality and sensitivity to content and form.

Perimeter Distribution, the business’s wholesale arm, began trade in 2013, and now represents some of the world’s leading independent photography, art, design and theory publishers, including MACK (London), Spector Books (Leipzig), Onomatopee (Eindhoven), Primary Information (New York), Triangle Books (Brussels), Edition Patrick Frey (Zurich) and more.
