Tales from Belgium

(2022)

A true bible about trainwriting in Belgium throughout the years. Each chapter covers a year, from 1990 until 2021, accompanied with in total 1500 color photos and many stories by both national and international writers.

Regular edition (€90) had three color options for the cover: dark green, burgundy or light grey.

Limited edition (€200) with handmade textile backing taken from a first class seat from one of Belgium’s ‘Piggy’ trains. The 56 first class seats of the AM75 series train, best know as a ‘Piggy’, had an orange textile made from solid wool and constructed between 1975-1977, while the second class seats were made from an artificial leather. Alias Press has cut out and dry cleaned a piece of textile of each seat from two train sets; Nr. 838 and Nr. 840. Each book comes from one seat and has different colors, as some textiles were more used than others, making each limited edition version of the book unique. All 112 (2x 56) books are signed by the graffiti writer who painted the very first passenger train in Belgium
