DIRECTOR’S REPORT September 20, 2018 FIGHTING COMMUNITY DEFICITS On July 10th, OLBPD hosted its annual Family Fun and Learning Day in Cleveland at the Lake Shore Facility. OLBPD hosted 85 registered patrons who enjoyed tours of the Sensory Garden and OLBPD, as well as guest speakers Tracy Grimm from the SLO Talking Book Program, and Beverly Cain, State Librarian of Ohio.

Special Catalogue 21
Special Catalogue 21 Marbling OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Special Catalogue 21 includes 54 items covering the history, traditions, methods, and extraordinary variety of the art of marbling. From its early origins in China and Japan to its migration to Turkey in the 15th century and Europe in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, marbling is the most colorful and fanciful aspect of book design. It is usually created without regard to the content of the book it decorates, but sometimes, as in the glorious work of Nedim Sönmez (items 39-44), it IS the book. I invite you to luxuriate in the wonderful examples and fascinating writings about marbling contained in these pages. As always, please feel free to browse our inventory online at www.oakknoll.com. Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow, making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Today, Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 25,000 titles. Our main specialties continue to be books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children’s books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy — plus books about the history of all of these fields.

The Bookbinding Workshop: Making As Collaborative Pedagogical Practice
International Journal of Art and Design Education Conference, 2014 Elizabeth Kealy-Morris Collaborative Practices in Arts Education University of Chester Liverpool Tate, 24 & 25 October, 2014 [email protected] The Bookbinding Workshop: making as collaborative pedagogical practice “The value of Engagement is no longer questioned” (Trowler & Trowler, 2010, p.9) “Art education is a dynamic expression of eagerness, total intellectual energy, and inquisitiveness…” (Buckley & Conomos, 2009) “The difficult and the incomplete should be positive events in our understanding; they should stimulate us as simulation and facile manipulation of complete objects cannot” (Sennett, 2008:44). “(C)raft’s inferiority might be the most productive thing about it” (Adamson, 2007, p.4). Introduction Trowler & Trowler, in their 2010 report for the HEA’s Student Engagement Project, note that studies have consistently shown associations between student engagement and improvements in identified desired outcomes, including cognitive development, critical thinking skills, practical competence, and skills transferability. They also note that there are specific features of engagement which improve outcomes, including student-staff contact, active learning, and cooperation amongst students such as group work and peer support. Trowler & Trowler found that interacting with staff has been shown to have a powerful impact on learning, especially when it takes place outside the classroom and responds to individual student needs. The NUS 2012 Student Experience Survey supports Trowler & Trowler’s findings. The purpose of the study was to understand student expectations of a university experience. Teaching quality was cited as the most important factor in what makes a good learning experience. Students want more engaging teaching styles that are interactive, use technology & props to make the subject more accessible and interesting.

Resurrecting the Art of China's Dragon Scale Bookbinding
AiA Art News-service Resurrecting the art of China's dragon scale bookbinding Updated 2nd April 2018 Resurrecting the art of China's dragon scale bookbinding Written by Stella Ko, CNN ContributorsNanlin Fang, CNN, Justin Robertson, CNN At his studio in Beijing, artist Zhang Xiaodong layers hundreds of sheets of thin paper on top of one another until they form a complete and impeccable image. When the chapters of his elaborate books are unfolded, the pages move like the bellows of an accordion. This ancient Chinese art, known as dragon scale bookbinding, stretches back more than 1,000 years to the Tang dynasty. Passed down between generations of royals and literate upper class families, the finished works were thought to resemble dragons, each page appearing like a "scale." Content by Rado Rado True Designers' Series - Sam Amoia With few of the books surviving to the present day, the bookbinding technique was at risk of becoming obsolete before Zhang decided to research and revive it. Using the Forbidden City Palace Museum's one existing dragon scale book for reference, he spent four years printing and binding his latest work, which was exhibited at the recent Art Central fair in Hong Kong. 1/7 – "Dream of The Red Chamber" (2017) Beijing-based artist Zhang Xiaodong practices the art of dragon scale bookbinding that stretches back more than 1,000 years to the Tang dynasty. Credit: Courtesy of Sin Sin Fine Art Zhang is the first artist to practice this forgotten art in the modern age, according to the exhibition's curator, Ying Kwok.

"(l~ omniglot.com II TURKISH 7ilrkre HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The land which we now know as Turkey is a land of dichotomies that has had an illustrious, as well as an infamous past, filled with great tolerance and even greater intolerance. It is the land of Troy, birthplace of Homer, Santa Claus and tulips, tryst place of Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, kingdoms of Croesus and Midas, the rescuer of the Jews, the perpetrator of the world's first genocide, and the refuge of the Virgin Mary. The words of Julius Caesar's veni, vidi, vici resounded across Amasya, east of Ankara in 47 BCE. Thus, it is a land of antiquity and iniquity, although Anatolia, the western area of Asian Turkey, is one of the oldest inhabited (as early as 7500 BCE) lands, Turkey, as a national state, is one of the youngest (1918).

Medieval & Early Modern Manuscripts: Bookbinding Terms, Materials, Methods, and Models
Medieval & Early Modern Manuscripts BOOKBINDING TERMS, MATERIALS, METHODS, AND MODELS Medieval & Early Modern Manuscripts BOOKBINDING TERMS, MATERIALS, METHODS, AND MODELS This booklet was compiled by the Special Collections Conservation Unit of the Preservation Department of Yale University Library. If you have any comments or questions, please email Karen Jutzi at [email protected]. A NOTE ON DATES & TERMINOLOGY: The terms ‘Carolingian’, ‘Romanesque’, and ‘Gothic’ are used in this booklet to describe a method of board attachment as recognized by J.A. Szirmai in The Ar- chaeology of Medieval Bookbinding (Aldershot: Ashgate, 1999), and are often used by others to describe medi- eval binding structures. While a convenient method of categorization, using the name of the historical period to describe a style of binding can be misleading. Many other styles of binding existed concurrently; it should not be as- sumed that all bindings of a certain historical period were bound the same way. Furthermore, changes in bookbinding did not happen overnight. Methods co- existed; styles overlapped; older structures continued to be used well into the next historical period. Many thanks to Professor Nicholas Pickwoad, Uni- versity College, London, for his helpful comments, suggestions, and corrections on terminology. kaj 1/2015 Table of Contents MATERIALS OF MEDIEVAL & EARLY MODERN BOOKBINDING Wood 8 Leather 9 Alum-tawed skin 10 Parchment & vellum 11 TERMINOLOGY Parts of a medieval book 14 Outside structure 15 Inside structure 16 Bindery tools & equipment
