3. CALL FOR WINTER BOOK VOLUNTEERS & INTERNS MCBA is looking for volunteers and interns to help produce the 2005 Winter Book, an anthology of work by regional poets and authors, edited by acclaimed Minnesota writer and previous Winter Book author Bill Holm. This is a great opportunity to broaden your bookish experience and find out how the Winter Book magically transforms from a manuscript to fine press editions.

Experienced printers are invited to apply for an internship in September and October, when the Winter Book is scheduled to be printed. Applicants should be familiar with printing editions, identifying a good impression and determining the proper amount of ink. Applicants must be willing to commit to 5-6 hours at a time, at least once a week.

Volunteers with any level of experience are needed to help bind the Winter Book editions in October and November.

For more information, please contact Jeff Rathermel at jrathermel@mnbookarts.org.
