CODEX 2022 Coming Soon


Spaceheater Editions, my press imprint, will be sharing a table with Clifton Meador of the Studio of Exhaustion at the 2022 CODEX Foundation Symposium and Book Fair. This is the first time it has taken place since 2019. CODEX used to always take place in uneven years, but having missed two years due to COVID-19, it will take place at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, CA. Richmond is part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The event takes place from April 10th through April 13th. CODEX is the premiere selling place for artists' and fine press books in the United States. More information is here.

I will be selling, among other volumes, the last five copies of my book Delirium, which won a 50 Books/50 Covers award from the AIGA, as one of the best-designed books of 2020.

We should have an eye-catching table: Clif Meador has designed some amazing fabric to use as both table cloth for our table and as cover for our table when the book show closes each day. Here is a sneak preview of the fabric:











Clif will be showing a large number of brand new books, never seen before. I will be showing a number of books, old and new, but focusing mostly on sales of Delirium. I have even screen-printed a bunch of book bags for sales, based on the pattern that Clif devised for our table covering.


We hope to see you there at Table 70A+B. It should be a lot of fun, and there is a CODEX VIII Foundation Symposium that always occurs on a couple of mornings in Berkeley before the book fair opens in Richmond.
