2014 Scripsit Vol. 36, No. 1: Contemporary Book Artists

This edition of Scripsit showcases amazing bound works that remind us that a book can be so much more than just print on a page. Includes contributions from Nancy Ruth Leavitt, Elizabeth Mckee, Marina Soria, Carol Barton, Susan Smith, and many more.

"It is readily apparent that 'bookmaking' is a diverse creative endeavor; the submissions here are as disparate as the artists' fingerprints. That is refreshing in light of the propensity for many to slavishly copy others in the field. But more importantly books, good books, are about design first and I was delighted by the thoughful contributions each artist made. Late in the nineteenth century William Morris posited that in one hundred years the book would be dead. It seems thay those here are hell ebnt on turning back the tide, and doing a delightful job." ––Editor's Note, Michael Clark.
