About This Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all think we know what a book is\u2014we use them every day, see them in libraries, on coffee tables and bookshelves, and have all kinds of metaphors about them (like maybe that college is a place to pick up some \u201cbook-learning\u201d). But when we say \u201cbook,\u201d are we picturing the same thing? Is a book on a Kindle still a book? Is a zine or pamphlet? What about a length of wool with knots in it or a little clay tablet? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this class, we will look at the book as an object with a rich past that includes a lot of playful experimentation, and we will make books of our own in response. We will imagine impossible books and see a few as well. And we will think about the role books play in the academic and literary worlds\u2014meeting librarians, booksellers, writers, and book artists to learn about their journeys with letters and pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Should Take This Course?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This class is for anyone interested in books who wants to know more about their history and their future. We will get hands-on with books, thinking about them as tactile objects designed for interaction. We’ll make books, play with letters, and print our own posters. Get ready to be creative and playful with print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
