Problems in Literary Study: Making Books

This for-credit class combines making books with the study of books as fruit of all sorts of labor. Meeting in Firestone's Special Collections, students learn how to set type, proof, and print a broadside portfolio of poems, using Firestone's historic Albion Press, with the guidance of printer David Sellers. Seminars begin with presentations of printed material in Special Collections, from the Gutenberg Bible up to 21st-century book arts.
