Idiots’Books is a (very) small press that publishes odd, commercially non-viable illustrated books and distributes them through a mostly monthly subscription service.
Featuring the work of writer Matthew Swanson and illustrator Robbi Behr, the books range across subjects from the Christian god to seventh grade, French imperialism to donkey slaughter, and funnel cakes to traffic theory. They are made by hand and are difficult to shelve. Sometimes they perplex. Usually funny and often irreverent, Idiots’Books aim to exploit the possibilities offered by the quarrel between pictures and words.
Robbi and Matthew (and their willful child) live and work and sometimes watch TV in the hayloft of an old barn on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
