Edward-Dean Museum presents a new exhibition, Secrets in the Script This exhibit examines the impact and beauty of printed words and images from the 16th to 19th centuries.
Visit to see how coffee houses became the meeting places where all could gather over a “cup of brew.” Pick up a free cup of coffee to enjoy while you view prints and rare books from the Edward-Dean Collection.

Now I can read E-book in Café Elité and not look like a geek.
A few of us in the Material Cultures of the Book Working Group are taking a printing class for the DE BAM. It’s really amazing to be able to learn how books are constructed first hand, but it is also a very time and labor intensive process. This photo is from my first print run on a 32 leaf octavo pamphlet. It took me 2 days of trial and error (along with a mid-print-run set-back), but it turned out well in the end.
