Until 2009, I was webmaster for San Francisco Center for the Book. When they redesigned their website, the pictures and other material for past exhibitions at the Center disappeared. I’ve resurrected them on my website. (To the left is Laura McCarthy’s

Wonderful to see all these pieces again. Thanks for giving them a home, Green Chair.
Wow— What a great thing to do—Thanks!
Excellent. But I’m not surprised you’ve done this. It’s just the latest endeavor in a long line of entries that makes Green Chair Press THE must-read blog in the book-, paper-, and letterpress arts world.
Wow–talk about a trip down the rabbit hole! Each photo led to another . . . and another . . . and another–I just spent a very happy hour looking at all these brilliant books. Thank you!
