The Guild of Book Workers Library is housed in the Special Collections Department of The University of Iowa’s Main Library and holds over 700 volumes which focus on the arts of the book, particularly on hand bookbinding techniques. The collection also contains volumes on the history of bookbinding and bookbinders, papermaking, paper decoration techniques, calligraphy, printing, and book conservation. By trading newsletters and journals produced by the Guild, the library also receives current periodicals on binding from similar organizations in England, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Australia.
