Book Arts News

Book Binder Museum to open in SF: Since I'm fascinated by the book arts, this is very good news; the "bad" news is that it is only open on Saturdays. But better one day than never!

On a related topic, the Book Club of California is showing a selection of bindings of the work of MFK Fisher.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of M.F.K. Fisher, the exhibition represents a selection from the collection of Club member Randall Tarpey-Schwed. Included are first editions, fine press publications, magazines, broadsides, and foreign language translations.

312 Sutter St, San Francisco (Open to the public - and there's an elevator so there's wheelchair access as well)
