Biographical / Historical Note
The books in this collection are from two different courses that are taught by Rai Peterson. The first course was referred to as the Manifesto Book Arts course that would have students individually write, design, and bind a book for the course. Later after the creation of the local Muncie business, The Book Arts Collaborative, the course changed into the Book Arts Collaborative. Along with the name change of the course the final project changed from producing individual books to the students working together to produce one book as a class. The newly named course enstills each student with hands-on learning and management skills by participating in the Muncie business. The students then teach letterpress printing, binding of hand-sewn books, and instruct community workshops.
