Books for Saturday’s Valentine event
I’ve been sewing up some nice little books made from my stash of Valentine-y cover papers and filled with handmade paper I made awhile back.
Here are a few:
I’ll have them at Nana this Saturday from 11am-5pm, plus vintage valentines, my own cards, and lots of letterpressed love letters.
Fall for the Book Festival at GMU
I got an email last month from one of the organizers of the Fall for the Book Festival opening September 26 at George Mason University. In addition to featuring some big names in contemporary literature (Alice Walker, Rita Dove, Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon, etc.), the festival also includes an exhibition of artist books!

Tech support in the age of the book
I need to make a tech support call today but I’ve been procrastinating by watching this instead.

The article is sort of a Catholic answer to Nicholas Carr’s Is Google Making Us Stupid? from The Atlantic. Neulieb warns against the sin of curiositas, losing the ability to control one’s consumption of information [...]

Book Arts Fair!
Pyramid held their biennial Book Arts Fair this past weekend. Here’s me preparing for the demonstration Steve Cole and I gave about book printing. It went well—all of our attendees were newbies and they loved seeing the presses run and taking home the souvenirs we printed.

Edible Book Contest at the DCPL
I went to the MLK Library the other day and it had changed a bit in the last few months. There was self-checkout! It was fun, though I hope it doesn’t mean that librarians are losing their jobs. Librarians played a big role in my development as a young reader, and all the librarians I [...]
