Destination: Books will be managing the books sales at the opening for Drew Langsner's This is Not a Chair: A Popup Exhibit of Recent Sculpture on Friday evening, September 30th in Avondale Estates. Although this is not our normal venue, it does fit in with what we like do— to display and chat about some fine books such as Langsner's Country Woodcraft: Then and Now.

Country Woodcraft was originally published in 1978 and this revised edition from Lost Art Press includes an additional hundred pages in its original format of landscape binding and printed on #80 matte coated paper for superior image reproduction.

Langsner revisits his earlier work which gives it a "delightful conversation with his younger self" quality.

The exhibit is open to the public.
