Curtis DESCRIPTION:with author Richard Schwartz\nA picaresque biography of immigrant and entrepreneur M.B. Curtis of San Francisco\, whose claim to fame was on stage and in silent films\, but also includes many extraordinary ventures. \nWinner of the 2018 Bronze IPPY for biography\, The Man Who Lit Lady Liberty: The Extraordinary Rise and Fall of Actor M.B. Curtis tells the biography of immigrant actor M.B. Curtis who saved the Statue of Liberty in 1886\, though his actions were forgotten. Curtis’ rise and fall from grace is a dramatic arc that rivals anything created for stage. Actor\, producer\, real estate developer\, promoter\, hotelier\, benefactor\, and murder suspect\, M.B. Curtis’s life encompassed the highs of celebrity and fame as well as the lows of failure\, illness\, and a faltering career. \nRichard Schwartz is a historian and the author of Eccentrics\, Heroes\, and Cutthroats of Old Berkeley; Earthquake Exodus\, 1906; Berkeley 1900; and The Circle of Stones. Originally from Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, he graduated from Temple University with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature. An outdoor enthusiast and animal lover\, Schwartz worked on a Pennsylvania Dutch farm for two years before heading west to find higher mountains. He now lives in Berkeley\, California\, where he works as a building contractor and documents early Native American sites in the Bay Area. The Man Who Lit Lady Liberty (April 2017) is his fifth book and was selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Margaret Herrick Library to be included in their collection. The book was also recently awarded the bronze medal in the 2018 Independent Publisher Book Awards.

Edited by Matteo Pangallo and Emily Todd and featuring contributions from a diverse range of teachers\, scholars\, and practitioners in literature\, language studies\, history\, book arts\, library science\, and archives\, the collection presents a variety of methods for teaching book history both as its own subject and as an approach to other subjects. Each of the 39 chapters describes lessons\, courses\, and programs centered on the latest and best ways of teaching undergraduate and graduate students both about and with book history. \nBeginning with chapters that apply particular pedagogical and critical theories to the book history classroom\, the book then covers effective ways to organize courses devoted to book history\, classroom activities that draw upon book history in other courses\, and an overview of selected print and digital tools for book history classes. Contributors draw on their own experiences in the classroom to bring to life some of the rich possibilities for teaching book history in the twenty-first century. \nA virtual presentation by the editors and selected contributors to Teaching the History of the Book (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2023) URL:https://pubpronetwork.org/event/teaching-the-history-of-the-book-a-roundtable/ LOCATION:Zoom\, CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Author Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230625T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230625T203000 DTSTAMP:20260407T090759 CREATED:20230507T172603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230507T172605Z UID:10000625-1687717800-1687725000@pubpronetwork.org SUMMARY:SF in SF with Fran Wilde and Henry Lien DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, June 25\, when writers Fran Wilde and Henry Lien meet for an evening of readings and conversation with Bay Area writer Cliff Winnig. \nFran Wilde‘s first novel\, Updraft\, won the Nebula and Compton Crook awards; it was followed by Cloudbound and Horizon\, completing the Bone trilogy.

Unfortunately\, everyday use of traditional Indonesian scripts\, including the Javanese script\, has largely been supplanted by the Latin alphabet. One stumbling block in many contemporary efforts to revitalize the script is the lack of appealing visual styles. However\, when we peel back the script beyond monotonous tables endlessly repeated on the internet\, the history of Javanese script shows a rich tradition of visual variation in all sorts of materials—from the calligraphic hands of palace manuscripts to display types used in magazines. \nIn this talk\, Bayu will show how he used archival Javanese materials to expand the typography of Javanese in contemporary usage. See some of the materials he collected over the years and how they were used in some of his typographic works. Hear Bayu’s personal experience working with Javanese and other Indonesian scripts\, and his ongoing efforts to learn and promote design excellence in traditional scripts. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

Bender turned his philanthropic focus on Stanford University Library. As one of the founders of the Book Club of California\, Bender needs no introduction to this audience who will also be familiar with his efforts to establish an appreciation for the book arts at Mills College\, San Francisco Public Library\, and other Bay Area institutions. His offer to assemble\, with the co-operation of friends\, “a collection of notable examples of fine printing to be placed on exhibition in the Stanford Library”\, was immediately embraced by faculty\, students\, and library staff. This gift was the catalyst for the creation in rapid succession of a Typographical Collection\, a Rare Book Room\, a staff position for a Keeper of Rare Books\, and\, by the end of the 1930s\, a Division of Special Collections to manage the library’s growing holdings of rare and distinctive materials. \nOver the decades\, the Stanford collections were reorganized several times and much of the provenance information about this transformative period was lost from the library catalog\, with the foundational gift eventually being dispersed. This presentation explores some notable pre-Bender acquisitions\, once held on a bookcase in the library director’s office\, before introducing the foundational gift of “Finely Printed Books” that started\, and in many ways still shapes\, the collecting program at Stanford. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Benjamin Albritton\, Rare Books Curator in the Department of Special Collections at Stanford Libraries URL:https://pubpronetwork.org/event/from-bookcase-to-bender-room-and-beyond-approaching-the-centennial-of-rare-book-collecting-at-stanford/ LOCATION:The Book Club of California\, 312 Sutter Street Ste 500\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94108\, United States CATEGORIES:Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230619T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230619T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T090759 CREATED:20230610T223908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230610T223908Z UID:10000679-1687183200-1687186800@pubpronetwork.org SUMMARY:Editing With Disability/Chronic Illness DESCRIPTION:This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nThe online chat this Thursday will have an open agenda\, loosely focused on work-life: How do we define\, handle\, and sustain our work as editors. What kinds of projects are a good fit? How do we obtain enough but not too much work (if that is even possible in editing!)? What have we learned and what can we learn from each other? \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.

But it did for Michael Santos and\, through Prison Professors the organization he founded\, incarcerated individuals now have an additional\, if unlikely\, pathway to success. \nSantos is passionate about creating a supportive and rehabilitative environment within correctional facilities. By focusing on the acquisition of practical skills\, he and his organization provide a sense of purpose and direction for incarcerated individuals. Engaging in creative pursuits like graphic design serve as a positive outlet for self-expression\, fostering a sense of accomplishment and boosting self-esteem. \nEquipping incarcerated individuals with InDesign skills enhances their prospects for successful reintegration into society. By developing a portfolio of their work\, they can showcase their talent and skills to potential employers. But since former prisoners might not immediately find willing employers\, InDesign also opens an income opportunity while working from home. \nThrough graphic design\, incarcerated individuals can not only learn how to use visuals to communicate ideas but also to write more effectively. With these marketable skills\, individuals who have paid their debt to society are better positioned to secure employment\, reduce recidivism rates\, and become contributing members of their communities. \nYou will learn: \n\n\nWhat InDesign skills are taught to people in prison. \n\n\nSteps we can take with InDesign to lower intergenerational cycles of recidivism. \n\n\nReal-life examples of formerly incarcerated people who have made good through InDesign. \n\n\nHow the graphic design community can make a bigger impact on the lives of people in prison. \n\n\nWhy mass incarceration represents one of the greatest social injustices of our time. \n\n\nPathways to bringing courses into jails and prisons across America.

Known among their friends and in their community as the Boys\, they remained in a de facto common law marriage for 55 years. \nIn the eastern foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains they established the first stand-alone summers-only art school in California. The school was devoted to the lifestyle and aesthetic of the American Arts & Crafts movement\, which aimed to imbue beauty into every element of day-to-day living\, taking nature as a source of inspiration in doing so. \nThe school lasted only four years but had a significant impact on the California art scene—inspiring the creation of three other summer-only art schools in Northern California and its distinguished alumni went on to found the California Society of Etchers and the ArtCenter College of Design in LA (now in Pasadena). \nIn 1915 both men held positions at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition: George was on its central committee as the chief operations officer for the Palace of Horticulture and designed the landscaping for the fair. Frank was in charge of the principal decorative arts exhibitions. \nThe men went on to form life-long friendships with famous artists and Hollywood stars\, including Olivia de Havilland\, Joan Fontaine\, Yehudi Menuhin\, Loie Fuller\, and Ruth St. Denis. Additionally\, during this time the pair cultivated a glamorous life that glittered across two continents. \nIn this talk Richard D. Mohr introduces us to two of the most interesting and admirable men you have never met\, until now. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Richard D.
