Merely curious, Ralph -- will this exhibition include Barry Moser's
Pennyroyal Caxton Bible published in 1999?  If by any chance you are
unfamiliar with it, it's the first illustrated bible since Gustave Dore's
from the first years of the 19th century.

Barry may also be a good contact in the matter of education stuff since he
has in the past been involved in the teaching of calligraphy and all aspects
of printing and print-making.  He lives in Northampton, MA.  If you are
interested, you can reply to me off-list.
