SUMMARY:Before Baedeker: Travel Guidebooks to 1840
DESCRIPTION:The late 19th century has been labelled the “Baedeker Era” after the famous series of compact\, bright-red travel guides published simultaneously in German\, English\, and French. The Baedeker guides’ trademark characteristics – systematic\, impersonal\, regularly updated\, in a portable format packed with practical information and complementary maps – have served as a template for all subsequent guidebooks up to the present day. \nBut how did this specialty format develop? In a talk based on original research drawn from his personal collection spanning 1600 to 1840\, Bill Newlin will trace the evolution of early travel guides\, beginning with itineraries of Italy and France written by and for tutors escorting young noblemen on the Grand Tour.

SUMMARY:Freedom in Restriction: My Journey with Kufi with Joumana Medlej
DESCRIPTION:In this Letterform Lecture\, we will taste the visual power of a lost calligraphic tradition through one artist’s immersion in the early Arabic scripts broadly labelled as “Kufic.” Joumana Medlej uses examples from her work to illustrate the respective qualities of the two great strands of this family\, and how she harnesses its visual language to create compositions made of pure meaning. She will share how her journey towards an authentic understanding of the script revealed that it is defined not by an outside set of formal rules\, but by more elusive principles that can only be learned through embodied practice\, and in return allow greater creative expression. \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.

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.

SUMMARY:A Fresh Take on Interactivity in InDesign
DESCRIPTION:InDesign has a rich toolset for adding a wide variety of interactivity to your documents. But to use these interactive features well\, sometimes you need to think a little differently. In this session\, we will dig into the “how-to” to produce a series of interactive effects; hyperlinks\, pop-ups\, rollovers\, multi-state objects\, slideshows\, buttons and more. We’ll also explore the different formats available to export your document out of InDesign\, and the pros and cons of each. If you’ve tried InDesign’s interactive features and found them frustrating\, or have heard clients ask\, “can we make that interactive” but don’t know where to start\, join Laurie in this fast paced session and take a fresh look.

SUMMARY:An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe\, 1846-1873
DESCRIPTION:An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe\, 1846-1873\, by Benjamin Madley\, is the first full account of the government sanctioned genocide of California Indians under United States rule. It has been widely praised as groundbreaking\, raising fundamental questions about how Californians and Americans think of themselves and their history. \nBetween 1846 and 1873\, California’s Indian population plunged from perhaps 150\,000 to 30\,000. Madley is the first to uncover the full extent of the slaughter\, the involvement of state and federal officials\, indigenous resistance\, who did the killing\, the taxpayer dollars that supported it\, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive history of an American genocide.

SUMMARY:Once Upon a Tome: The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller
DESCRIPTION:with author Oliver Darkshire in conversation with Mechanics’ Institute Events Assistant Pam Troy\nThe histories and mysteries of one of the worlds oldest bookstores\, in London\, are revealed by author\, bibliophile and rare bookseller Oliver Darkshire \n\n \nWelcome to Sotheran’s\, one of the oldest bookshops in the world\, with its weird and wonderful clientele\, suspicious cupboards\, unlabeled keys\, poisoned books\, and some things that aren’t even books\, presided over by one deeply eccentric apprentice. \nSome years ago\, Oliver Darkshire stepped into the hushed interior of Henry Sotheran Ltd (est. 1761) to apply for a job. Allured by the smell of old books and the temptation of a management-approved afternoon nap\, Darkshire was soon unteetering stacks of first editions and placating the store’s resident ghost (the late Mr. Sotheran\, hit by a tram). \nA novice in this ancient\, potentially haunted establishment\, Darkshire describes Sotheran’s brushes with history (Dickens\, the Titanic)\, its joyous disorganization\, and the unspoken rules of its gleefully old-fashioned staff\, whose mere glance may cause the computer to burst into flames. As Darkshire gains confidence and experience\, he shares trivia about ancient editions and explores the strange space that books occupy in our lives—where old books often have strong sentimental value\, but rarely a commercial one.

SUMMARY:Caring for Your Personal Collections: A Conservator’s View
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual lecture! Whether you have a priceless first edition or your high school scrapbook\, books have intrinsic value beyond the words on the page. Get tips\, tricks\, and advice from professional book conservators. Emilie van der Hoorn and Michelle C.

SUMMARY:The U.S. Constitution and the Mystery Novel\, by Micheal O’Connor
DESCRIPTION:Though not everyone realizes it\, the U.S. Constitution can have serious repercussions on a mystery novel. Search warrant requirements\, Miranda warnings\, and prohibitions against rubber hoses are just a few of the many constraints placed on police detectives. While private detectives are not directly affected by the Constitution\, disregarding the rules can have negative consequences for them as well. We’ll explore the highlights of these restrictions\, and the different impacts they have on police and private detectives. Keep those pesky legal fact-checkers at bay!

SUMMARY:Contempo Jo Mora
DESCRIPTION:The creative career of Joseph Jacinto “Jo” Mora (1876-1947) was both compelling and diverse. A painter\, muralist\, sculptor\, building designer\, cartographer\, actor\, set designer\, cowboy\, and husband and father\, Mora’s art work sprang from his interests in numerous subjects including Native Americans and cowboys\, the American landscape\, California history and its missions\, the classics of Chaucer\, and Mora’s love of animals. \nThe artistic legacy of Jo Mora continues to evolve. Upon Mora’s passing in 1947\, his son Jo Jr. lovingly worked to spread the word about his father’s creative accomplishments. That endeavor has been passed along to Peter Hiller\, the Jo Mora Collection Curator. \nJoin Peter as he shares how Jo Mora’s art has\, and continues to\, find its way into popular culture and the wider world in both traditional and surprising ways. \nIn in-person and virtual presentation by Peter Hiller\, author\, historian\, and Jo Mora Collection Curator for the Monterey History and Art Association

SUMMARY:Letters from Buenos Aires with Muk Monsalve
DESCRIPTION:Take a journey through the locations and architectural details in Buenos Aires that inspired a typographic textile.\nSince 2018\, Muk Monsalve has been hosting and curating type walks around Buenos Aires with her art and business partner\, Lucía Soto. This project\, called Letra Capital\, allows them to highlight and share the love they feel while walking their city. \nWhen their type walks halted during the pandemic\, they developed a souvenir for Letra Capital: a typographic scarf recreating the journey. They had so much fun developing it that the product ended up becoming a collection called Musa del Asfalto. The scarves and cover ups are not only beautiful\, they also tell stories through their design\, type\, and phrases. The typefaces they use in the collection\, Arrabal and Ciudadela\, were custom designed–not revivals–and take direct inspiration from landmarks and landscapes of Buenos Aires. \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.

SUMMARY:March Member Meeting: Quantifying Your Editing Impact
DESCRIPTION:Have you bought a piece of clothing from a store\, and\, when you took it to the cashier\, had the person checking you out say\, “this color will look great on you!” This is a sales strategy\, a subtle but still manipulative attempt to build brand loyalty—it’s a way for the retailer to assure you that you made a good decision when you chose to buy with them. \nHow might freelance editors use similar strategies in our own business? What are our options for applying sales psychology ethically\, without manipulating our clients? In this short presentation\, Letitia Henville will describe how she captures and shares quantifiable measures of the difference her editing makes with her clients. As a group\, we’ll then discuss other freelance-appropriate sales strategies\, as well as the ethics of applying tricks from consumer psychology and behavioral insights to our business practices. \nLetitia Henville (she/her)\, PhD\, is an award-winning instructor and editor who helps researchers to articulate their goals to an audience of their peers. She lives and works on the unceded\, stolen territory of the Səl̓ílwətaʔ and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm people on the land now called the Dunbar region in Vancouver. She writes the monthly advice column “Ask Dr. Editor” for University Affairs\, and can be found online at shortishard.com and writingwellishard.com. \nThis event is free and open to all editors.

SUMMARY:The Epicenter: Taleen Voskuni with Jen Siraganian
DESCRIPTION:Litquake’s Epicenter is excited to launch our Spring 2023 season\, with Sorry\, Bro\, the debut novel by Bay Area author Taleen Voskuni. This vibrant and heartfelt queer rom-com\, set amidst the current San Francisco tech community\, follows a young Armenian-American woman as she rediscovers her roots and embraces who she really is. \nWhen Nareh Bedrossian’s non-Armenian boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunken tech boys\, she realizes it’s time to find someone who shares her idea of romance. Her mother\, armed with plenty of mom-guilt and a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked Armenian men\, convinces Nar to attend “Explore Armenia\,” a month-long series of events in the city. But it’s not the mom-approved playboy doctor or the wealthy engineer who catch Nar’s eye—it’s Erebuni\, a woman as immersed in the witchy arts as she is in preserving Armenian identity. Suddenly\, with Erebuni as her wingwoman\, the events feel like far less of a chore\, and much more of an adventure. Who knew cooking up kuftes together could be so…sexy? Taleen Voskuni appears in conversation with Los Gatos Poet Laureate Jen Siraganian.

SUMMARY:Salon Series 37: Recovering the Forgotten Women of Metal Type Design with Bethany Qualls
DESCRIPTION:Dig into overlooked design history and get a sneak peek at Letterform Archive’s forthcoming research hub on women in metal type.\nEver wonder who originally designed your favorite typefaces? Many of the fonts we use today (such as Futura\, Helvetica\, Baskerville) originated in the metal type era (late 1800s to 1950s) when hot metal typesetting became the norm for printing\, revolutionizing what had been a mostly manual process for centuries. Much of today’s typographic design relies on norms from this period when Linotype and Monotype dominated. Yet\, with few exceptions\, women’s contributions in the metal type era have mostly been erased or ignored. \nFor this Salon\, Bethany Qualls takes us on a deep dive into these often-overlooked women and their contributions to type history. Even though others have researched early women type designers\, no single\, publicly accessible resource exists to synthesize all of what we do know. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at her role as a Mellon Public Scholar in creating Letterform’s forthcoming finding aid and research hub which aims to fill this gap. Highlights will include examples of type specimens from the LA collection\, what’s been left out of most English language resources thus far\, tips on how to research in languages you don’t speak written in alphabets you can’t read\, and the project’s future phases. \n  \nOn-site and online.

SUMMARY:Dancing in Their Light: A Daughter's Unfinished Memoir
DESCRIPTION:A colorful compilation of inspiring and unfathomable stories woven together by humor\, pathos\, confluences of fate\, and the eternal guiding hands of the author’s ancestors. \n \nDebbie Chinn begins this colorful memoir by tracing her roots back to China.
