About
Automatic Books is a small indipendent publishing house based in Venice. It has been founded in the beginning of 2009 by Elena Xausa and Tankboys. In 2010 Tommaso Speretta joined the group. Automatic Books publishes the work of outstanding artists and designers. Each book is printed in a limited and numbered edition.
