Madelyn Garrett's design and binding piece for the cover of "The Art of the Book, a Review of Some Recent European and American Work in Typography," has been selected to be in the Guild Bookmakers 100th Anniversary Exhibition that will open in New York in October. Garrett, of the rare books department at the J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, spent more than six months in the cover's creation (two hours per square inch), which is patterned after a historical panel binding from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Marnie Powers-Torrey, also of the rare books department, likewise had a handmade book, "Warm Blooded Book," juried into the show.

The exhibit will travel to, and be on display at, the Utah Museum of Fine Art in February 2007.
