errata editions is a small independent publishing house whose aim is to create books that challenge and educate. We are a group of practicing photographers, designers and educators who share a common love for the mediums of photography and book craft. Our desire is to expand the current dialogue of these mediums through presenting works by contemporary photographers set alongside celebrated photographic bookmakers.
