The Extinguishing of Stars is complete. Our collaboration was long and involved, so we look forward to sharing the book with our readers and patient supporters. The binding and box is by John DeMerritt, and, as these things often go, matches our very early imaginings of the book. We have been fortunate to show the book and accompanying materials in exhibitions in Ohio, New York, and Illinois. The Extinguishing of Stars will be on view in NEO at the Cleveland Museum of Art from July 9 - September 4, 2005, and in the 4th International Columbia Book & Paper Arts Triennial from July 15 - August 27, 2005 at the Columbia College Chicago Center for Book & Paper Arts. The prospectus and an accompanying postcard will be mailed in early July: please send us a note or e-mail if you'd like to receive one.
