Centuries ago, monks roamed the streets of Italy with small books called "vade mecum" (Latin for "to go with me"). Since 1994 Iona has brought this Italian treasure to wanderers and wonderers of our time...placing many thousands of our books in the hands of artists, musicians, writers, architects, poets, photographers, backpackers, collectors, and all sorts of fascinating people with something to say, or to save, in a meticulously crafted archival book...people just like you.
