This year’s competition, “For the Love of Books,” celebrates the time-honored collaboration of calligraphy and the book arts through artists’ books made by the guild’s members. The winning book from the competition will be purchased and added to the Jaffe collection, the renowned collection of artists’ books that is the heart of the Jaffe Center for Book Arts.
