Could anyone have guessed what a vast array of handmade books today´s artists are creating!? Thanks to Lark Books, we have a better understanding of the impact of books on 21st century minds and imaginations! It´s all here for our amazement: meticulously constructed, leather-bound volumes or spontaneous, free-form, lopsided tomes. I had never realized that in this day of alternative media we have such a bookbinding renaissance! The one thing that is missing -- a super large format and even bigger pictures that would allow examination of every bookbinding detail. Next time!¤

Interest in bookbinding and the related arts has exploded in the past decade, inspiring artists to explore the unlimited possibilities of the form—and delighting collectors, crafters, and gallery owners. Lark’s Cover to Cover has been a bestseller for more than ten years, and this new and provocative on-the-page gallery, richly illustrated with hundreds of breathtaking photographs, will appeal to that same large and discerning audience. They’ll appreciate the artistry of a finely tooled leather cover, embellished with traditional gold-leaf lettering; the intricacy of an exotic Ethiopian binding with a show-stopping open spine; and others that resemble mysterious puzzle boxes, or that curl, hang, and swirl. The sublimely talented contributors all put their finest work on display: Jeanne Germani’s Cloudspeak showcases her own handmade papers, made from such varied materials as recycled denim, thistle, and other plant matter. Chris Bivin’s codex-style volume features curious, tiny, found objects. One of Laura Wait’s untitled pieces utilizes a handsome raised-cord binding to connect a pair of stained-cedar covers with abstract aluminum letterforms attached.
The entire collection is juried by the esteemed Steve Miller.
