Chicago Hand Bookbinders Exhibit - 2002

Definition of a Book

What do you think of when you think of a book? More than likely, you think of a more traditional structure. The Chicago Hand Bookbinders are made up of a diverse group of book arts enthusiasts, some of whose bindings are more on the traditional side. Many of our members also focus on not-so-traditional structures, perhaps less familiar to you.

This Chicago Hand Bookbinders exhibit highlights both worlds of binding. Hopefully we will cause you to think a little more about your definition of a book and maybe even change your definition a little. Either way, we hope you enjoy our exhibit.
