Yep, I discovered this morning that my website (callibeth.com — don’t bother to try it today) was hacked a week ago. It’s been cleaned up, but I’m still waiting for Google to clear it for browsing. What a drag. I had a strong password, but evidently it wasn’t strong enough.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch … Am I using that phrase because we’re moving to Montana? I hope not. The kitchen is all packed up (we even packed the plastic tableware by mistake), most of our clothes, all the sheet music and nearly all the books are packed away. I was holding out the books for a paper that was due (and therefore finished) today, among them:
Spring Lines, edited by Ewan Clayton
A History of Illuminated Manuscripts, by Christopher de Hamel
The Ideal Book, by William Morris
Words as Images: Contemporary Work from the Society of Scribes and Illuminators
Time: Past, Present and Future, the 5th Calligraphy Exhibition of the Alpha Club (Japan)
The Book As Art, by Krystyna Wasserman (NMWA) plus Johanna Drucker & Audrey Niffenegger
More Than Fine Writing: The Life and Calligraphy of Irene Wellington, by Heather Child et al
American Book Design and William Morris, by Susan Otis Thompson
Zen Brushwork: Focusing the Mind with Calligraphy and Painting, by Tanchu Terayama
Graphic Design History: A Critical Guide, by Johanna Drucker & Emily McVarish
Letterwork, by Brody Neuenschwander
Words of Risk: The Art of Thomas Ingmire, by Michael Gullick
What a wonderful list of books, Beth! I'd sure love to read the paper that came of perusing all of those.
Bummer about your website though.

I enjoyed writing the paper, even though I didn't have time to do it justice. The class is the 2nd half of an art history survey class. The assignment was to choose a theme and then find and discuss 15 images from the 14th to the 21st centuries — at least 1 image for each century. I chose "Relationships Between Text and Image: 14th Century to the Present". An unsurprising choice, given my calligraphy background …
It turned out to be an absorbing topic.
