"The San Francisco Center for the Book is dedicated to the art of the book, everything from the art and craft of letterpress printing to bookbinding.  The center holds regular book arts workshops and has a fully equipped letterpress print studio with over a dozen antique printing presses, wood and metal types, plus a bookbindery and arts and crafts room. The gallery exhibitions range from private collections to retrospectives featuring book artists’ work. Founded by Mary Austin and Kathleen Burch in 1996, 2016 marks the Center for the Book’s 20th anniversary." - ATLAS_OBSCURA
