Until 2009, I was webmaster for San Francisco Center for the Book. When they redesigned their website, the pictures and other material for past exhibitions at the Center disappeared. I’ve resurrected them on my website. (To the left is Laura McCarthy’s

The Book: A Contemporary View is a exhibit of bookworks up at Towson University (in Maryland) until April 11. It’s a nice on-line catalogue with essays about the state of the artists’ book, and enough information about the artists to make me look for their other work. One artist I found in particular was Andrew Huot. His book A Guide to Dogs is shown below. In the catalogue it says

A Guide to Dogs was made while the artist and his wife were searching for a dog. He did not have experience as a dog owner but his wife wanted his opinion, so he wrote a guide, using what knowledge he gained from movies and TV

It’s printed letterpress with handset type, linoleum cuts, and photopolymer plates. See Huot’s other bookwork here.
