Museums and Artists’ Book Collections

Further Writing

These resources are limited to the United States, but a quick web search will yield myriad booksellers, galleries, museums, and workshop spaces around the world. For an excellent overview of international resources, I recommend The Book Arts Newsletter curated by Sarah Bodman of the Center for Fine Press Research (CFPR) at the University of the West of England, Bristol (http://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/newsletters.html). The Briar Press online community (http://www.briarpress.org/) and Letterpress Commons (https://letterpresscommons.com/) can help pinpoint local printers offering classes, apprenticeships, and equipment. A subscription to the Book_Arts-L listserv and the Philobiblion site are also essential references (http://www.philobiblon.com).
