This morning we had a lecture on text in books, by Barrie who works at The Caseroom press. The Caseroom Press; are an independent publisher whose work explores the function and format of the book, from single limited editions to multiple copies; from poetry to prose; from the artist's book to traditional print; from stencils, to typewriters; from wood and metal type to litho to digital print processes. They collaborate with a number of illustrators, designers, painters, poets, sculptors, students and musicians.
The presentation took us through text in books through the past 500 years or so.
