Edible Book Show

Recently read about an Edible Book Show in Milwaukee, fashioned after others imagined and created by a woman named Judith Hoffberg, a librarian and art curator who lived in California. She had two rules for anyone who wanted to host a festival such as this: Books must be made of edible materials and it should be held close to April 1st.

What a cool concept. Our local paper had an article about the 2nd annual Edible Book Show held at Woodland Pattern Book Center in Milwaukee. Some really cool things were created. I'll need to remember this event next year and attend.

Doing a quick search, I found many other edible book festivals and events. Love the idea of this.
