Summary:

"On June 15-18, 2005, Wellesley College hosted The Artists' Books Conference, a three day event that brought together artists, librarians, curators, collectors, teachers, and booksellers...They came to learn from each other, to talk about issues that are not usually discussed openly. Librarians revealed their collecting strategies and decision making processes, artists asked questions about selling and marketing their work, and private collectors talked about what they acquire and how they discover new work. What emerged from this conference was a spirit of collaboration between those who create the books, those who represent the artists, and those who build collections." -- Introduction.
