I'm presently a graphic designer by day in Evanston, Illinois, and a book artist/writer
by night. I am planning on attending a Letterpress for Book Artists class at Penland, NC
this summer. I have handmade just two rather thin books so far, but I am working towards
combining my short stories with letterpress book design. I'm looking to the future of
possibly starting my own business as a graphic design and letterpress shop. Right now, I
am looking for advice, opinions, etc. I want to find out what it's like having a small
private press, what pitfalls I might avoid, whether this is a bad idea, and so forth. I
would prefer to talk to someone in the Chicagoland area in hopes of maybe visiting his/her
press shop, but any pointers from anywhere in the world would be most helpful. Thanks!

Peter Beard's journals/diaries are fine examples of scrapbooks taking on a higher art
form. Can anyone lead me to a site featuring his s?. I believe there was an exhibition
exhibition of his journals in Paris last fall, but have been unable to find the catalog on
t. Beard is a photographer living in Africa. I am not as interested in his photowork,
which is well known and widely published, as I am his diaries because of their value to
the field of bookarts. Thank you

I have a passion that seems to be growing out of control for Woodcut Novels or wordless
stories told in woodcuts, engravings, drawings or linoleum cuts. Often these books were
done in small editions at fine presses. Over the years I have purchased novels in woodcuts
by traditional and contemporary artists such as Lynd Ward, Giacomo Patri, Laurence Hyde,
Frans Masereel, James Reid, Clement Moreau, Willy Fries, Charles Turzak, Chris Stern,
Rebecca Blissell, Maureen Cummins, Babbette Katz, and Jules Remedios Faye, however I seem
to be at a dead end! I spend more time in libraries and on the internet than with my
family trying to locate information and I just can’t seem to get past the easy to
find sources. Would anyone familiar with this type of work be willing to share any
information or the names of unfamiliar artists who are working or have worked in the
Woodcut Novel genre? Thank you! K. Webb wordlessbks@hotmail.com
