Registration Open for Texas A&M Book History Workshop

Registration for the fifth annual Book History at A&M Workshop, May
21-26, 2006, is now open.   Taking place in the Cushing Memorial Library
and Archives at Texas A&M University, this five-day workshop provides an
intensive, hands-on introduction to the history of books and printing
with an emphasis on hand press era printing and its allied
technologies--typecasting, papermaking, bookbinding, illustration, and
ink-making.  The combination of labs with seminars will provide students
with practical experience as well as a broad historical survey of the
field.  Students will have the opportunity to cast type in a hand mould,
set lines of type, impose formes, make paper, produce relief and
intaglio illustrations and print on a replica common press. The workshop
is intended for librarians, archivists, students, teachers, book
collectors and private individuals who work in areas related to or who
have an interest in book history.   Past workshops have also included a
series of evening lectures by scholars active in the field of book
history.  To register, find out more, or see photographs from previous
workshops, go to: http://library.tamu.edu/bookhistory.
