The Guild of Book Workers 100th Anniversary Exhibition is hitting the road! Check the schedule here.
But, maybe you’re like me and the closest it’s coming is 800+ miles, so I won’t be able to check it out in person. HOWEVER, do not fret, do not frown! You can see the exhibit online with huge detailed photos of each submission. My favorite: Melinda Padgett’s Willa Cather, Death Comes for the Archbishop. I like traditional binding forms that are able to draw creatively on the themes/ elements/ whatever from the story within. This is fantastic and I would weep with joy to be able to put such a beautiful book on my shelf.
Don’t forget to take a few minutes for the historic review of the Guild’s previous submissions.

Hey, thanks for the heads up on this exhibition. I passed it on to a bookworker that I know, and I'm certain he'll pass it on to others.
Gorgeous stuff. I like your favorite too but, haven't finished perusing all of them. Problem: Exhibition dates of 2006 & 2007.
