THE FINE PRESS BOOK ASSOCIATION
Dear friend of fine books,
Now would be a good time for you to join the Fine Press Book Association. I myself have been a member for many years.
They have a twice-a-year magazine called Parenthesis that's all about handmade books, as well as a new website that makes it easy to find out what new books small presses have been making (not to mention you can read the gossip in the bookmaking world on their blog).
It's not even very expensive: $48 for a personal membership, $60 for an institution.
