One Love Books Paris Launch — Greensleeves, Clarks and Jamaica

On Saturday, 10 October, the London publisher One Love Books comes to Paris for an afternoon at Le Comptoir Général, co-organised with Le Grand Jeu and Judah Roger. There’s no talk and no stage. It’s a meet-and-greet with Alexander Newman, a book signing, and DJ sets on vinyl while the venue carries on as usual. Signed copies of Greensleeves: The First 100 Covers will be available on the day, alongside From Somerset to the World and Clarks in Jamaica.

One Love Books documents the visual and material history of Jamaican music and its diaspora. Their books cover the sleeves of a label that shaped reggae and dancehall, and the unlikely story of how a Somerset shoe became a Kingston uniform. These are histories told through objects, and that’s why they sit naturally on our shelves next to graffiti, hip-hop and skate. All three titles are already available at the shop and online.
