unseen hands

via mirabilis, an exhibition on women in the book arts at Princeton's University Library. The revelation of women's contributions to book design and production is pretty nifty and complete with pictures. What is truly cool, however, is that for the past several weeks I've been trying to get a foot in the door with the university press, which just granted me a second interview earlier this week, and the tradition continues on: save for the man who runs the department, all the designers and the production manager I met were women. Huh.
