We offer you the opportunity to pre-order your copy of the BIG LOVE BOOK – launching at Hyde Park Book Club on the 15th of February from 6pm. The first edition is only 250 copies, and we expect these to fly off the shelves – so act now and pre-order, to avoid a BIG Valentine’s disappointment. You also get to feel good by supporting a community-led, grassroots art project simultaneously, all for £25, what a bargain!  

The BIG LOVE Book is a repository and long-lasting device that captures what love is in this present moment. An enquiry of this kind only makes sense when it’s shared with others - for this reason, the works were selected through the BIG LOVE open call. The 80 contributors reflect on the theme and tickle a curious understanding of love and loving. 

The BIG LOVE Book expands the physical exhibition at Hyde Park Book Club into a 226 page, hardback, soft touch book. Full of art, prose and poetry in all imaginable forms the BIG LOVE BOOK is to be kept and treasured, it is something possibly or perhaps, impossibly sexy.
