Hello, Jane,
"Work of Many Hands: The Art of Islamic Bookmaking" is at the
Art Institute, as is an exhibit of "Posada and the Mexican
Broadside".

(The Art Institute has free evenings through the summer on
Thursday and Friday.)
Center for the Book and Paper, Columbia College

You may wish to ask about visiting their excellent papermaking,
bookbinding and printing facilities.
Paper Source <http://tinyurl.com/ofsmo> in the River North area,
and is across the street from Pearl art supplies. These are in
the River North Gallery district.
Aiko's isn't to be missed, north on Clark Street.

With the free trolley system, getting around the city center is
easy! <http://tinyurl.com/zelxs>
