Quebec Forever bound
Selected Works of 400 Years of History
Quebec
City will celebrate the 400th
anniversary of its foundation in 2008. ARA-Canada is proud to
announce that its International Design Binding
Exhibition has been selected for this event. The exhibition will
welcome any original design binding presenting a
high degree of artistic craftsmanship. The books
selected by the design bookbinders can be of any
genre (novel, essay, biography, album…), era,
location or year of publication as long as a strong
link to Quebec City is present.
This international
exhibition will certainly be a great opportunity to
discover rare and captivating design bindings.
