The Guild of Book Workers Journal is published annually by the Guild of Book Workers and contains articles that address our members' interests in the arts and crafts of the book, including traditional bookbinding, paper making and decorating, conservation and restoration, calligraphy, the making of artists' books, and printing. Published continuously since 1962, the GBWJ welcomes submissions from members and nonmembers.
