Critical Writings on Book Art
This selection of critical writings and related resources has been assembled by the CBAA Criticism Task Force, which is comprised of artists and educators of varied backgrounds and interests. Its intent is to provide one option rather than a definitive list, and it will be updated periodically. The Task Force invites members in the book art community to participate by offering their own teaching bibliographies to join this one, identified by teacher and institution.BOOKS AND ARTICLES //
