Vamp and Tramp

I attended the vamp and tramp "lecture" earlier this semester. They are a small business that caters to handmade artist book. I really enjoy bookmaking and letterpress printing, so I found the lecture particularly interesting. It was mostly a sort of show and tell. The man showed us tons of the books they sell. They were amazing. They were really not your average bound book. Each of them really pushed the concept of book, much farther than I've ever seen. There were intricate cut outs and folds. I was really inspired by this showing, especially Julie Chen's work.
