BOOKPLATES BY THE BAY

Greetings Ex Libris Artists & Collectors!

BEAT THE HEAT and enjoy the cool breezes off San Francisco Bay at Jack London Square. The average high  temperature  during the day is 70° F (21° C) with low temperatures at 55° F (12.778° C).  This could be heaven on earth!  It’s like this all year round!  So be sure to pack a light jacket or sweater.   

You’ve been planning to participate in the San Francisco XXXIX FISAE Global Congress since we announced it in 2012.  Many ex libris enthusiasts have already made their travel arrangements to attend the Congress.  If you are planning to attend, please register before August 15th, 2022 so that we can fulfill our financial obligations with vendors (as soon as possible).  It will be necessary to increase registration fees after this date.  We safely accept credit/debit card payments via PayPal on our website.  No cash please unless you transfer funds from your PayPal account.  If you prefer the wire transfer method from your bank, PayPal  accepts this option.

San Francisco may be one of the most expensive cities in the world and, of course, our overhead is extraordinary.  Although we are offering some of the best prices for accommodations at the Hyatt Waterfront Hotel that you will find in the San Francisco Bay Area.  If you visit our website you will discover additional hotel options located close to Jack London Square.

Come see the important book arts movement underway in San Francisco today!

The 7,000 mile trek (11,000 km) is normal for us when attending ex libris meetings overseas.  It is always an adventure and we usually add a few extra weeks to explore.  This is an opportunity since it is unlikely that another FISAE bookplate congress will be organized in North America during this century.  Although we are looking at the possibilities for a bookplate meeting in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.  Many fine book illustrators and engravers are active in the city.  Interested?
