Purchase Bibliocraft: Purchase a signed, personalized copy of BiblioCraft from Word Brooklyn

BiblioCraft: A Modern Crafter’s Guide to Using Library Resources to Jumpstart Cre ative Projects combines my two loves–libraries and handmade design projects–in a single volume. In it, I provide you with both the skills and the inspiration to uncover fresh design ideas among the unique, historical, and unusual collections in libraries worldwide. In creating BiblioCraft , I had the good fortune to work with a roster of tremendously talented library-loving contributors ( click here to view the table of contents), who designed projects based on library collections they explored. Published by Abrams/STC Craft/Melanie Falick Books on March 18, 2014, it is now available in stores and online.

Please see my calendar for information on BiblioCraft events, or write to me with questions any time.
