Bookbinding Now

119e.  The 6th Biennial Codex Book Fair and Symposium was held February 5-8 in Richmond, California. The Codex Foundation was conceived in 2005 by Peter Rutledge Koch, fine press printer, and Susan Filter, paper conservator, to create an environment for promoting the book as a work of art. This is accomplished by bringing together the Best of the Best book artists and fine press printers from around the world to share their work, explore new and old concepts, and to start an on-going conversation about the fate and future of the book as an essential art form. My Mighty Journey Gaylord Schanilek established his press, Midnight Paper Sales, in 1980.
