It's not too late to register for the 2005 Book History Workshop at
Texas A&M.
Though space is limited, there are still spots available.

The fourth annual Book History at A&M Workshop will take place May
22-27, 2005, 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.  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
the subject.  The workshop also includes a series of evening lectures by
scholars active in the field of book history.  To register, find out
