Delirious About Books

BarcelonamoiPascale Baud, one of the new members of the Book Arts Yahoo list I belong to, mentioned a book arts show in Chartres, France, that looks like it was absolutely wonderful. First off, it was called Délires de livres (Delirious About Books, roughly; don't make fun of my bad French). Secondly, it was in a great space, one of the city's medieval buildings. Third, look at these! Woot! Wish I'd been there. Looks like a great show.

Here's Pascale's video of the show, and there's another here.
