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