It's that time again for many art librarians. If you find that your budget has a few unspent dollars and you have not yet ordered Material Meets Metaphor, please consider one of the three limited editions.

If your budget is used up already, I can invoice you next month.

Do scroll down--you may like what is at the bottom of this e-mail best of all.

Today I am shipping Copy B of the Deluxe Edition. Each binding on the five copies in this edition is unique--this one is inlaid snakeskin:

Material Meets Metaphor, Copy B in inlaid snakeskin

It comes in a dust jacket and slipcase:

Material Meets Metaphor Slipcase B

If you have not yet pre-ordered The Book Art of Richard Minsky [George Braziller, Publisher, 2011, $34.95] from Worlwide Books or another library distributor, you might consider doing that now. The edition is only 1,500 copies.
Books should arrive the end of August, in time for the fall semester. Yesterday the first sample binding arrived and was approved.  Here it is--art book, artist's book, and book art all in one:

The Book Art of Richard Minsky

If your budget can handle a little more than that, I'm issuing a limited slipcase edition of 150 signed and numbered copies.The current  pre-publication discount price is in effect through June 30. There will be a price increase July 1.
