Every year more and more people come to our annual exhibition of the Art of the Book. This year we are excited to keep the show running for two months and have an amazing group of works for you to experience and collect. Again we ask you to expand your thinking about what a book can be. We have tried to approach the subject from as many angles as possible, from fine letterpress editions with exquisite printmaking, such as Charles Eckart's Midnight Ride and Matt Phillips' All that Jazz to a new altered book by the ingenious Lisa Kokin . Julie Chen's highly topical Panorama is a grand opus about our responsibility to the planet that opens to a full 60 inches across and Charles Hobson's essay on sailing by Roger Angell is interactively illustrated with an actual sail that is "jibed" to expose the text. There are sculptural offerings from Tor Archer, Carl Dern and Laura Raboff and this year we have the iincredible calligraphy of Thomas Ingmire. William T. Wiley and Manuel Neri both have books in this year's show and we have new works from Macy Chadwick, Alisa Golden, Susannah Hays, Howard Munson and Marie Dern - all Bay Area favorites.
