The Bookbinders’ Guild of New York Celebrates Book Show’s 20th Anniversary
This year’s New York Book Show, also coincided with the Bookbinders Guild of New York’s 80th anniversary, which the guild is commemorating with a series of special events throughout the year, including the recent tribute to past guild presidents, held in February.
The Book Show was the result of a year-long effort by a committee of volunteers—and it is the largest committee in the guild—co-chaired by Lou Bilka, Renata Butera (Pearson Education), and Tracy Cabanis (Alfred A. Knopf), who oversaw the various subcommittees involved in setting up the event, coordinating the judging process, fundraising, gathering the submissions, creating the show catalog, making the awards for the winners, and creating the graphics for the posters, invitations and catalog cover.
