In my inbox, I also received a newsletter from Rachel Hazell in UK, reminding me of her amazing artist books, with her traveling to Antarctica teaching book arts! There is a lot to see and read on her website, what an inspiration!

Rachel Hazell artist books
Today I'm really thinking about hand-made books, as I woke up finding an order of our limited edition books from the Special Collection Library of the George Mason University in Virginia. A happy news indeed, something it doesn't happen everyday!

Wow, beautiful! I am just getting into book binding and wondering if you recommend a book for someone who lives far from in-person classes. Is there a best book for learning about bookbinding? Thanks!

Wow Linda, you moved from LA to Italy, it sounds a beautiful decision.
Some books I always suggest to my students are:"
Making books by hand" by Peter and Donna Thomas
and "Bookworks" by Sue Doggett. Both are very well written, with simple instructions and illustrations. There is a lot that you can learn from those books, but there are also a lot more available in the market.
I hope this can help. Good luck with your bookmaking and keep in touch.
Hi Angela - Thanks for the tips...I'm going to check out those books! :) I follow your blog, so hope to see more posts - thank you again!
Hi Angela! My name's Meaghan and I work for GMU. I placed the orders on behalf of our fine arts librarian, who is adding a number of artist books to Special Collections for accreditation purposes! I'm a crafter and love your work...it was exciting to see your name on my day job's desk. Looking forward to seeing everything in Special Collections soon. :-)
Thank you Meaghan for your interest in my work and our limited edition books. I'm flattered that our full collection has been acquired from your university library. It is a real honor. I have been working on your order today and be ready for shipping this week. Thank you!
That is sooo brilliant and exciting! Congratulations! And the photos look beautiful. Really happy for you :-)
