You Can Judge a Book by Its Cover

The exhibition You Can Judge a Book by Its Cover celebrates the variety and beauty of the art of bookbinding. It features 33 different interpretations of the same book by a group of distinguished and talented bookbinders.

Together, these 33 books highlight a wide spectrum of celebrated 20th-century bookbinding artists and the artistry of the miniature book.

John Tonkin’s miniature design is bound in the French simplified style.
