Idaho Booker's Dozen

The CSI Library has been selected to host the Booker’s Dozen 2011 for the month of September. The biennial exhibition, which travels throughout the state, features 14 handmade and self-published books.

Booker’s Dozen 2011 is the ninth edition of the show, which was founded in 1994 by late Boise State English professor Tom Trusky to “reward and encourage bookmaking, to promote Idaho bookmakers and to inspire Idahoans to make their own books.” The 2011 pool included 109 entries, representing national and international artists.

Jurors for the exhibition were Melody Sky Eisler, artist and librarian; (our own!)Jim Irons, poet and English professor at the College of Southern Idaho; Jon Sadler, photographer, book artist and photography professor at Boise State; Amanda Hamilton, professor of drawing and painting and director of the Friesen Galleries at Northwest Nazarene University; and Leila Ramella, art director for Boise Weekly.

Their selections include:

Aaron Nelson, “The Short Life”

Sarah Lenz, “Brown Bag Week”

Brooke Burton, “Hacked Vol. 3”

Mike Scheef, “EMZ Book One”

Yael David-Cohen, “Ageing I”
