Attention Book Collectors and Bibliophiles!

Do you have a book collection that you are proud of? Are you interested in sharing information about your collection with fellow collectors?

The Bibliographical Society of Canada is offering Canada's Third National Book Collecting Contest 2011-12.

The contest requires participants to write a 1,500 to 2,000-word essay on their collection, including where appropriate, the description of the books: binding, cover decoration, illustrations, and bibliographical features such as format, printing, and publication data. Example collections include children's books, illustrated books, artists books, flip books, Arthurian legend, Generation X, eighteenth and nineteenth-century literature, serial fiction, graphic novels, a single author, cookbooks, modern authors, travel, experimental poetry, little magazines, etc. The essay may be written in French or English.
