I was happy to be there to experience an exhibition from the other side. Thirty seven books created by twenty three artists were on display and so many different styles of book arts were represented. There were books made from paper, metal, felt, wood, mica, and other materials. And every type of binding seemed to be on display.
The opening was well attended and I was lucky to have met many, very welcoming books artists.
I am happy to be able to share with you the fact that my book Undergound sold.
Billboard remains available and is for sale at the price of $210. If anybody out there is interested in purchasing this book, please send me an email. Sold. Thank you!
The exhibition runs through December 5. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood. You can find directions in PCNJ's website.

Thanks for the opening photos Seth, and congratulations on your sale. I enjoyed seeing the books.
Congratulations on your sold book, what a wonderful feeling this must be!
Btw: I really wonder, why are you always stopping over on my German blog, which is quite boring I think and not on my blogspot-blog which is much more interesting and in Englisch?!
Just a question.
Have a great day!
Fabulous Seth, congratulations! Looks like a great exhibit..
Wonderful location and exhibit. Again, well done!
Well done, Seth! Thanks for giving us a peek at the exhibition.
Congratulations Seth...what a thrill for you to have sold your book...lucky buyer too :) Would have loved attending this show. Thanks for sharing images...
Congratulations, Seth! LOL. I took one look at the first picture and wondered if you were going to take some of it with you when you went home. Our very first home was a four (small) bedroom two-story farm house built in 1909. Across the creek was a two room homestead shack, and we pulled the wood siding off of it to 'wallpaper' our living room. The wood surface had some lichen growing on it near the seams, and we had to 'water' it occasionally.
the opening photos are wonderful Seth. Congratulations again on the show and the sale of your book is the icing on the cake!
So happy that you enjoyed your opening and sold a book. The exhibit looks beautiful. If only we weren't a thousand miles away! What a great space. Congratulations!
How exciting that must have been for you. The exhibits look amazing. A big congratulations on selling your book too. Having watched it in production through your blog, I am not surprised. It is a beautiful piece. Still plenty of time left for Billboard to sell too :o)
Well done- congratulations, Seth!
Congrats on the show and the sale Seth! Bravo! Your work of course is stupendous!

Cool. Congrats on the sale.
Congratulations on your sale! Very exciting and rewarding.
Congratulations Seth, on both the exhibit and the sale. I wish I lived closer as it would be fabulous to see your books in person.
Congratulations! On the show and the sale. Well deserved recognition.

looks like it was well attended -- the books were well displayed and a sale is always nice.
Great pictures of the opening show! and super congrats on your sale! Someone is now the lucky owner of your exhibited artwork. Based on this, I know you've actually just "touched the surface" on where you are going!
many thanks for "taking" me there when I am so far away...the outside as lovely as within~elk
So wonderful to see all the people and the books, and congrats to you on your sale... whahoo!
how thrilling to see that red dot on the wall!
Hello Seth, I found your blog by Miss Magpie's Eye and am very impressed. I will try to get some of mine and my cohorts books onto my blog at one stage. They hold a monthly exhibition of 'livres d'artistes' here in Toulouse and they are always spectacular. I have bought two so far and they inspire me to create my own! Wish I could see yours up closer. Thank you for the glimpse

Wow..I'm so jealous..I wish I could be there to exerence it..beautiful scrumptious yummy books...how wonderul you sold your book although I can imagine it being a bit hard to say good bye to.
Yikes Almighty! Thanks for sharing the opening and congratulations on selling one of your books - that is one lucky person!
Hey Seth, thanks for the virtual tour of the exhibit! Great fun & enjoyed all the photos.
I am wondering how they "handled" the book exhibits, as the ones I have been involved in are always "under glass" with no availability of viewers to peruse the books. Did you have plastic sleeves, or anything that would protect the work as individuals looked through the pages? I'm really curious as this has been a concern of mine as an altered book artist.
Thanks again for the show!
Bravo on your sale! And the show: I don't think I can stand it! I will buy a ticket to New York right away. I loooove handmade books! (just joking, but wish I could) - Jeanne
This is wonderful! Congratulations, Seth.
Book heaven I think! The exhibits look so interesting! Congratulations on the show Seth, you must be so pleased and a sale as well!!! I'm so happy for you, bet your doing the happy dance too! LOL!
What a marvelous event ! I love the way the books were displayed - it must have been so hard not to pick up each one and peruse it and feel its juiciness !
Congratulations on your well-deserved success there, Seth.
So sorry that I don´t live in the neighbourhood, so I can´t visit this wonderful exhibition.
Your books are really fantastic! Congrats on your sale. (is this right? on your sale? in german we would say: to your sale...)
I found your impressive blog via LaWendula. Thank you for your nice comment on my profile at the "One World" - Project.
Greetings from Germany to NY!
fantastic photos and congrats on the selling of your beautiful book! i wish i could fly there before december 5th to see it all in person!
Congratulations on your sale and being part of this interesting looking exhibit Seth!
Joy is witnessing the miracle of hand made books...each a sacred seed of revelation of a person's soul and spirit. I do so love how they appear to be displayed...I wish I could have been there for your celebration...Thank you for sharing the exhibit with us who are in another part of the country. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
This is an amazing exhibition! So 'crisp', unusual and inviting. Congratulations on selling your book.
Of course it sold! It was brilliant! Congrats!
I would love to see an exhibition like this. I've only ever seen 1 NZ exhibition of Altered Books and that was years ago before I knew what they were. Your so lucky to be allowed to take photos too, that's not allowed in most places here.
I've enjoyed this road trip of yours so far!
Thanks for your visit to my blog also:)
Congratulations on your sale, Seth! Well done! The validation of my artwork by making a sale is often 10x more satisfying than the money itself! The money to me is kind of a by-product, but great that it helps fund more materials to make more art!!
The other posts are equally exciting. I really love the pages -the build up of colour and texture into wonderfully abstract layers is so cool!
Thanks for sharing your show with us! And congrats on the sale of your book. How much that means to an artist!
A HUGE CONGRATS ON SELLING YOUR BOOK Woooohoooo!!!!
Seth, what a wonderful experience!! I feel like I was there.
Looking back to the previous posts and seeing your work, it is no wonder that your pieces were chosen and you sold.
Congrats on everything!!!

Congrats on the sale of your book Seth. You must be thrilled!

Oh Seth!!! I am so excited for you... no wonder you have been so busy. The exhibit of handmade books looks amazing, I wish I could be there. Your work is exquisite...
Looks like an amazing exhibition.
Congratulations on your sale, Seth! I am really excited for you.
The books, the building, the mingling...

So many congratulations on the show, and on the sales. The books are incredible, and seeing pictures of the show is a joy for those of us who can't be there in person. Fabulous.
