APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING There are still a few seats available in the "Medieval Book: From Sheep to Shelf" and "Design in Printing" Book Arts Workshops being offered by the University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science. These workshops are open to all interested in the Book Arts. For those who do not live in the Urbana-Champaign area, residence hall rooms have been reserved at a rate of $37.95 per night for a single and $24.70 per night for a double. Take both workshops and receive a discounted rate. THE MEDIEVAL BOOK: From Sheep to Shelf Saturday, May 21 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. $59 Faculty: Sidney Berger, Ph.D. Medieval Literature and Bibliography In the Middle Ages books went from being purely didactic to being necessities and luxuries. From the early religious texts produced in scriptoria, to the books (emanating from the secular scriptoria and Stationers' Offices) needed by a growing middle class, to the sumptuous, opulent books of collectors, books in the Middle Ages have a fascinating history. This workshop answers such questions as, How many people did it take to produce an illuminated manuscript (and who were they)? What materials went into the making of a medieval manuscript? How were manuscripts designed and illuminated? Who were the readers? What relationships were there among the growth of the guild system, the rise of the middle class, the increasing demand for education, and the production and use of books in the Middle Ages? How were the books actually produced? How were they designed? What problems do medieval manuscripts present for modern editors and readers? How can we produce an authoritative text from multiple manuscript sources? And much more. http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/gslis/degrees/Medievalbook.htm DESIGN IN PRINTING Sunday, May 22 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. $59 Faculty: Sidney Berger, Ph.D. Medieval Literature and Bibliography Whether we approach our reading from analog or digital perspectives, we owe it to our readers to offer the clearest and best-designed texts possible. This workshop looks at all kinds of things having to do with book design: considerations of audience; format; typeface selection; page orientation; all kinds of spacing; layout; legibility issues; papers; inks; binding types and designs; materials; art and illustration; collaboration; working with publishers and printers; classical views of what constitutes a well designed book; and so forth. We'll look at plenty of books along the way. And we will see what classic book design and the computer have in common. John Milton said, "A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit." This class will show you what to do (and what to avoid) to create precious lifeblood. http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/gslis/degrees/Designprinting.htm Take both workshops and pay only $99.
