The fourth edition of the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild's A Directory of Book Artists is intended for book artists across Canada and in other countries to use the information contained therein to contact others in their book arts fields, to collaborate, and to continue building the network of support that is a primary goal for CBBAG. This is currently the only listing that CBBAG prepares by category of interests and is also made available for members of the public looking for restorers, printers, papermakers, and other book artists.
The material in this directory is presented as it has been received from the artists listed herein. The work of many of the artists is known to CBBAG and much admired. However, publication of the information does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation.
