Problems in Literary Study: Making Books

This for-credit class combines making books with the study of books as fruit of all sorts of labor. Meeting in Firestone's Special Collections, students learn how to set type, print with an historic Albion Press, and hand-sew chapbooks of poems written by English Department poets, with the guidance of printer David Sellers. Seminars begin with presentations about books in Special Collections, from the Gutenberg Bible up to modernist little magazines and modern book arts.
