Vamp & Tramp
The site is an extension of the original Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers, LLC online offerings, specifically for catalogs of artists' books grouped in specific subject areas. Please visit our website for a full inventory of Vamp & Tramp offerings at vampandtramp.com.
We always ask our printers and artists for back stories about their work. Muriel Rukeyser has a line that goes something like, The world is not made of atoms, it’s made of stories. That rings true in our world. Stories about the work give people something to hang onto, a way of approaching what may seem mysterious or formidable.
We hope you enjoy the books in the catalogs and stories behind them.
Subject catalogues are updated with new additions and changes often, so make sure you come back to visit each month!

Current Catalogue: Family Connection
“The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.”
In the past, the word “family” has often been defined as a social unit usually consisting of parents and children. But in the modern world, we have come to recognize that ancestry is too confining to fully represent the complexities of our intimate relationships. Finding love and acceptance in the connections we make beyond those that bond us by blood are often just as precious and substantial. As we face the holidays and the year’s end, many of us will be spending time gathering with the ones we love, whether those be blood relatives, chosen families, or a blend of both. This is a list of artworks inspired by the ways we find and stay connected to our families.
