Here is a brief report back on the NY Art Book Fair Conference at which Alycia Sellie, Susan Thomas and I presented.

This is me immodestly promoting two events at which I'll be speaking. One of them specifically asked me to, so I'm not entirely betraying the library code of anonymous servitude. The first is the NY Art Book Fair, where Alycia Sellie, Susan Thomas, and I will be talking about zines in libraries.
