NOTE:

The Book Arts League would like to thank all the artists who participated in the 4th International Edible Book Show & Tea. Your contribution is appreciated!

The selection of books shown here has been rather arbitrary, first, due to the particular photographs that were available, second, by the restrictions of displaying them in the low-res medium of a web page, and finally by the escalating size of this project.

We will try to make corrections and add more images to this site, but we need to post it without too much further delay.

The League would like to thank BMoCA, for their continued support in providing such a congenial venue, and Lyra Kilston and Brandi Mathis for their invaluable help; our appreciation to the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse and Celestial Seasonings for making the event a real tea party; to Ideal Market, Juanita's Mexican Food, Panasia Fusion, Sunflower Fine Organic Cuisine for making possible a sumptuous array of non-book treats. Our special thanks to Repeat-O-Type Manufacturing Corporation, without whom the hectograph demonstration would not have been possible.

Thanks to Jeff Becker for creating the cards identifying the books and for maintaining data on the exhibitors. Thanks to Linda Bevard for the cake hassle.
