Dear American Printing History Association Members, Southern  
California Chapter and potential APHA members:

We are pleased to announce that we have recently revived the
inactive  
APHA Southern California Chapter and are planning some very
special  
events for our members and for potential new members. The new  
officers for the next two years are Kitty Maryatt, President;
Steve  
MacLeod, Program Chair; Richenda Brim, Secretary; Ryan
Hildebrand,  
Treasurer. Contact information is below.

Our immediate plans for the year 2006 include a reception at
Rare  
Book School West held at UCLA on August 2, from 5:30-7:00. The  
reception is planned especially for our chapter members to get
re- 
acquainted and to invite potential new members to our convivial 

group. This event is co-sponsored by UCLA's Horn Press, so you
will  
hear the latest on their resusitation as well. Our event will be
held  
in the reception area of the Graduate School of Education and  
Information building. Parking is $8. You can purchase a ticket
from  
the parking kiosk just off Hilgard at Wyton, and they will
direct you  
to our building. We would be very pleased if you would come to
this  
first meeting of the year.

On September 16 at 2:00 p.m., Gregory Graalfs from the San
Francisco  
area will present a talk about his work with Jack Stauffacher at
UC  
Santa Cruz and on working with Bill Everson on his landmark book
 
Granite & Cypress. Gregory Graalfs has worked in the publishing 

industry for a numbers of years, and he is currently writing a  
history of California fine printing. You will receive another
letter  
with more details in a few weeks.

On October 28, we will co-host an afternoon reception with
Scripps  
College Press in Claremont at an exhibition titled Too Much
Bliss:  
Twenty Years of Granary Books. The reception will be followed by
the  
Frederic W. Goudy Lecture given by publisher Steven Clay.
Granary  
Books has produced over one hundred outstanding publications as
an  
independent publisher for the past twenty years. Publications
include  
artist books, books on poetry and music, and scholarly writing
about  
the art and history of books.

Another exciting afternoon event planned is the Annual General  
Meeting in November, either the 4th or 11th, held at the Getty  
Research Institute. Our special guest Joyce Ludmer, Curator of  
Artists' Books, will make a presentation of selected books from
their  
remarkable collection.

In 2007, on January 27, we will again co-host a reception with  
Scripps College Press at an exhibition and symposium on the
long- 
ranging effects of Mallarmé's extraordinary poem Un Coup de Dès
on  
the artists' books movement. Our dream team of invited speakers 

include Betty Bright, Johanna Drucker, Judd Hubert, Clifton
Meador  
and Buzz Spector.

On May 19 or 26, 2007, Harvey Mudd College Professor Jeff Groves
will  
give a presentation about the Columbian hand press in Honnold
Library  
at the Claremont Colleges.

The annual APHA symposium will be held at UCLA in the Fall of
2007,  
which is a fantastic opportunity to hear stellar presentations
as  
well as a genial conclave to meet with your colleagues.

We are also very interested in emerging artists and expect to  
highlight work from printing and book arts programs in our wide-

ranging area. Other exciting activities are being planned, and
we  
would love to have you join us at these events.

We want to hear from you about programs that you would like us
to  
organize. Feel free to contact any of us. Also, please let us
know if  
you are interested in giving a presentation for the APHA
Chapter. We  
are also actively looking for a coordinator for our Master
Calendar  
as a benefit to members who would find such a calendar useful
for  
planning attendance at the many book arts activities in our
area.

The cost of membership to join the national American Printing
History  
Association is $45. Please consider joining the newly active
Southern  
California Chapter of APHA for an additional $15. Our area
includes  
all of Southern California from the southern border up to and  
including San Luis Obispo County. Please visit
printinghistory.org  
for a membership application and detailed information about this
 
vibrant organization.

We are excited about the possibilites for intellectual
stimulation  
and forming new friendships through our common interest in
printing  
history and look forward to hearing from you.

Warmly,

Kitty Maryatt, President of the Southern California Chapter of
