Artists' Books Symposium at Connecticut College

[Jae Williams <jennifer.williams@YALE.EDU>]

If you are interested in artists' books and have free time this Friday 
afternoon, there is a great event at Connecticut College.  I've included 
the message sent to me below.  Arts of the Book has work by all of the 
presenting artists.  You may even remember some of their work as 
exhibitions of Robin Price and Scott McCarney have both been held at AOB in 
the last two years.  Also, Dikko Faust and Esther Smith are better know as 
Purgatory Pie Press, and they presented a slide show in the SML lecture 
hall last fall.
