“The exercise of imagination is dangerous to those who profit from the way things are because
it has the power to show that the way things are is not permanent, not universal, not
necessary.”—Ursula K. Leguin, science fiction author

Members of the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers have created original works and books arts for Other Worlds Are Possible–a window-display exhibition inspired by our store’s speculative fiction focus. The exhibition features handmade book art by 10 artists, exploring the themes of imagination and creativity that books allow.

At a time when books are being banned and reading curricula censored, speculative fiction offers space to dream together about better worlds. How can book arts help tell the stories we need most right now? How can the structure of a book itself suggest possibility, hope, or change?
