Hullo<br>
We recently had a large book fair called Word On The
Street here (Halifax) in September. At it I got a chance to speak with
Joe Landry, the nice chap who teaches medieval book binding at Dal here
(and who has given us a lovely free lecture).<br>
<br>
Turns out Joe is trying to coordinate a chapter of
the Canadian Bookbinder's Association for the Maritimes. Cool! I think
the national bookbinders group is new as they were not at last year's
Word On The Street.<br>
<br>
As well, a local publisher is producing all its
books with lovely hand bound editions. Lovely textured covers, linen
pages and beautiful design. They publish poetry and fiction.<br><br>
I will post more data I can. I have some bibliographies to sort through and websites and such<br>
