ALSO editions is a Dublin-based publications imprint co-ordinated by Peter Maybury. It released its first four titles in April 2026, with a catalogue now running to 16 titles by both emerging and established practitioners. Graphic design allows you enter into all sorts of otherwise unavailable discourses, and ALSO editions uses this as the lever that brings about each publication, The books are a place through which to meet people, and to make available slight, but precise insights into the lives of others, using the syntax of graphic design and the space of the book.
