Edible Book Festival 2010
April 1, 2010 - Gothic Reading Room (Perkins Library), 2-3:30pm
Duke Libraries
Welcome to the annual Edible Book Festival sponsored by the Duke University Libraries Preservation Department! The International Edible Book Festival is a yearly event held on or about April 1. Since 1999 bookbinders and bibliophiles have been creating books made of edible materials for everyone to enjoy.
The only rule? Make edible art that has something to do with books as shapes or content. Information and inspiration can be found on the Festival's home page at www.Books2Eat.com.
Our festivities will include not only edible books but refreshments you will actually want to consume. We will also hold a silent auction for those of you wishing to support the Duke University Libraries Memorial Fund (Helene Baumann) by purchasing a unique object.
For more information or to participate in this year's festival please contact: Beth Doyle, Collections Conservator, or call the Conservation Lab at 919-660-5906. Entries must be delivered to the Gothic Reading Room no later than 1:30 p.m. on April 1, 2010.
Bon Appetit and Happy Binding!
