Bonefolder Bind-O-Rama 2007
The Guild of Book Workers 100th Anniversary Exhibition Catalog
[PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SET BOOK EXHIBITION - WE ARE ALL
BINDING/INTERPRETING THE GUILD'S 100th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION
CATALOG. THIS IS NOT AN OPEN/ANYTHING GOES BIND-O-RAMA. APOLOGIES FOR
ANY CONFUSION]
Initiated in 2004, the Bind-O-Rama challenge and online exhibition
has become an annual event. To continue that tradition, the 2007
Bind-O-Rama will be a set book exhibition featuring the catalog to
the Guild's 100th anniversary exhibition. The exhibition continues to
be a great success as it travels across the US. Closing in Portland,
OR on May 20, the exhibition will then travel to Dallas' Bridwell
Library before closing at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire in late November.
The bound catalog is already sold out, a first in Guild history, but
there are still a good number of unbound copies left. What better way
to bind them then for an exhibition. The unbound copies of the
Guild's 100th anniversary exhibition catalog can be ordered from the
Guild of Book Workers for $30 that includes shipping and handling
within the US. For orders outside the US, shipping costs will be provided.
This is an extremely "luscious" catalog and a must have for any
bibliophile, bookbinder, or book artist. To see the quality of the
illustrations, the full exhibition can be viewed online at
