OK this one is for those of you within striking distance of Birmingham. I just got the following info in an email from Martyn Ould at Old School Press:

An exhibition of six UK fine presses is now underway at The Royal Birmingham Society of Arts and we're delighted to be one of them. This sort of event is relatively unusual in the UK so it's good to have this opportunity of reaching a potential new audience. Also exhibiting are Tern Press, Old Stile Press, Inky Parrot Press, Fleece Press, Gwasg Gregynog, and a number of book artists from the University of the West of England.

There is an Open Day on Saturday 6 May from 1030am to 1700, and there are demonstrations and workshops running between 1100 and 1300 and between 1400 and 1600.

I've bought books from Tern, Old Stile and Old School before now and very fine they are. If you love books and want to see just how good the work of some of Britain's smaller presses are go see this exhibition. I wish I could.

*sob* Any chance they might bring that exhibition to Ireland?

That seems unlikely though it is going to be in Delaware in October.
