Exploring books in their natural habitat
Books in the Wild is a Podcast about Books
Today we investigate a combination of book and printing terms and phrases. We also have several special guest book makers sharing their favorite bookish terms.

What is book art exactly? What is an artist book? Are all art books book art? What do you mean by codex? Or livre d’artiste? Are you making these words up?
I have been getting questions like these for the past... seven or so episodes. So today I’m going to reel it in and start at the beginning with the book art basics. We have guests Ariel Hansen Strong and Faith Hale here today to play Book Art Trivia, and we have compiled the top 5 frequently asked questions which we will try to answer, and I got a new kazoo so you know we’re all in for a big treat.
For those playing along at home, I would love to hear your answers too, so feel free to comment on the episode post on booksinthewild.com or send me a message on Facebook or Instagram @BooksintheWildPodcast
