Founded in 2020, les éditions Leal Torres strive to embody excellence in the creation and dissemination of books that bring together writers, artists, and craftspeople. Offering unique literary, artistic, and sensory experiences, and created with a spirit of sharing, our books are invitations to travel, wonder, and dialogue. Experience our books in person and discover all the details that make them exceptional.
Private viewings by appointment
Les éditions Leal Torres have a private showroom located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris; the publishing house also has spaces in Mougins and Cannes. Dedicated to exhibiting and sharing our books, these spaces welcome those wishing to experience the books in our collection firsthand.
The weight of the paper, the texture of the typography, the fineness of the binding, the grain of the printing, the choice of cover, the elegance of the slipcase, and the vibrancy of the watercolours all deserve to be discovered and appreciated in person!
Contact lelag.vosguian@editionslealtorres.com to schedule a private appointment in one of our locations.
Bookstores and galleries
Les éditions Leal Torres are pleased to collaborate with several institutions that exhibit and sell the books they publish. Bibliophiles wishing to discover our works can visit these venues to discover or rediscover our artwork-books.
Yvon Lambert: Bookseller, publisher, and art dealer, Yvon Lambert is located at 14 rue des Filles du Calvaire, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. This space dedicated to art and books hosted the launch of our book Für Ingeborg Bachmann in 2023.
Librairie Auguste Blaizot: Founded in 1840, the Auguste Blaizot Bookstore is located at 164 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. A specialist in rare books in all their forms—first editions, illustrated books, bindings, autographs, manuscripts, as well as drawings and engravings—this bookstore was the launch venue for our book Les Cygnes Sauvages in 2022.
Librairie Métamorphoses: Located at 17 rue Jacob in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, Librairie Métamorphoses is a bookstore, gallery, and publishing house specializing in manuscript and autograph books, graphic works, photographs, and curiosities. This enchanting space, recently featured in a detailed article on Le Calepin, hosted the launch of Le Gardeur de troupeaux in 2020, as well as the celebration of our publishing house's fifth anniversary.
Traditional and media libraries
Les éditions Leal Torres champion the book as the ideal object of transmission. We wish to celebrate this artifact for its content: the thought and beauty it contains, but also for its materiality which ensures the preservation and transmission of works over time.
To contribute to the fulfillment of this mission, we have developed partnerships with various European libraries and media centers that have acquired one or more of our books. Our volumes are thus part of the collections of the Albert Camus Media Center in Antibes, the Alcazar Library in Marseille, the André Malraux Media Center in Strasbourg, the Caroline Media Center in Monaco, and the Casa Fernando Pessoa in Lisbon. These institutions share our works in various exhibitions and events with an audience eager to discover contemporary bibliophilia, artists' books, and books as works of art, or artwork-books, these sources of extraordinary intellectual and sensory experiences.
We are delighted to have as partners these institutions which guarantee the preservation and transmission of book culture as a rare and precious object.
Fairs and exhibitions
Les éditions Leal Torres are delighted to share their work with a wide audience by participating in various book fairs and exhibitions. Our team was fortunate enough to participate in Page(s), a fair that brings together creators and enthusiasts of contemporary bibliophile works and artists' books.
Our team also recently had the opportunity to take part in the tenth edition of the International Biennial CODEX Book Art Fair & Symposium, which takes place in California every two years. Our books are now part of their mobile bookstore and are showcased to book lovers at various events across the United States.
