"I invited a group of bibliophiles to submit one or more recipes each for a small cookbook. In turn, each participant has agreed to cook as many of the recipes as they can within the space of a year, to cook them with the book open on their countertop, and to take notes in ink on the book's pages."--Foreword. Title page and prospectus printed in red and black. "Hungry bibliophiles was designed by Russell Maret and printed by him in two new typefaces of his design ... The paper is BHC 20-80 heavyweight, composed of 20 percent textile quality hemp, 80 percent textile quality cotton; unbleached fiber cooked in lime and washed during beating. It was made by Tim Barrett and student co-workers at the University of Iowa Center for the Book. The book was printed on unsized paper, which was then sized in a 3 percent gelatin solution by Barrett, Maret, and students. The long-stitch paper binding structure ... was designed by Maria Fredericks using papers made at UICB, and completed by a team of volunteers under her direction. Seventy-five copies will be published, of which twenty-five will be reserved for the participants and fifty will be for sale."--Colophon. Library copy is 10 of 75. IaU
