The 32nd Annual
is a member-operated professional organization composed of individuals from every aspect of the book publishing and book manufacturing industries. It sponsors educational seminars and trips, holds informational programs, and helps raise money for the Literacy Assistance Center, in addition to creating opportunities for junior level publishing people to learn from a variety of senior staff. Originally the Bookbinders’ Guild of New York, the Guild was formed in 1925 by a group of thirty-five craftspeople from the many binderies in and around New York City. These pioneers gathered monthly to discuss issues, brainstorm through common problems, and address areas for improvement. These engagements helped develop many of the processes that we take for granted today.
