I just returned to Philly, and must point out two things:
1) There are a lot of new people making books, and
2) A chunk of them are from Philly.
We were an army of ladies across the back of the emerging artist section of the Fair, and I was told we were friendly, relaxed, and well-spoken on issues ranging from preferred ways for our books to be displayed to the content of our work. I give Susan Viguers a great amount of credit, as well as Patty Smith and Mary Phelan.
Also, the MFA students from the Alabama program are lovely, and they seem to want to come up for the Hybrid Book conference in June. It seems we have made some good ties with VSW and Chicago. It's time to get Alabama up here!
I swear, book reviews are coming soon.
