Betsy signed up for this course. It was something she had never done before and she enjoyed learning these age old techniques. The course was described as "investigate the traditions, methods, and future of the sewn board bookbinding. This prototype, associated with the earliest books, emerged in late antiquity and influenced bookbinding methods for centuries but went into dormancy before the invention of printing. Now the sewn board structure is returning to exemplify bookbinding in the digital print era. "

The course was taught by Gary Frost of the University of Iowa ... Gary maintains a website on bookbinding and book conservation at www.futureofthebook.com .
