Scholar and book artist Johanna Drucker, Robertson Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia and this year's Spiegel Resident at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, will speak informally about her own work in the book arts in this "conversation with books." Works by Drucker held in the collection of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Pennsylvania will be presented to attendees for examination and discussion with the author-artist.

This event will be followed at 5 pm by a lecture, "Combo Meals: Why/How This Book Now?", to be held in Meyerson Hall B-1. For more information on Johanna Drucker and the lecture:
