Book Arts

Mary Bergner

Thanks for Visiting Book Arts!


A lot of people ask me what Book Arts is exactly. Simply put, it's the art of making books. But the topic covers so much more than that! People who are interested in Book Arts aren't only interested in books, but also in papermaking, typography, printing, binding, calligraphy, and all kinds of other elements of bookmaking. I hope that if you are already interested in Book Arts, you will read my articles and contact me to let me know what else you'd like to see this topic cover. If you are new to the topic of Book Arts, I hope that you will become interested by reading these articles and following the links I have provided. Get involved and have fun!
