Around April 1st, bibliophiles, book artists, and food lovers around the world gather
to celebrate the book arts and the (literal!) ingestion of culture. 
Participants create an “edible book,” which can be inspired by a favorite tale,
involve a pun on a famous title, or simply be in the shape of a book (or scroll, or tablet, etc). 
Photographs of all edible books will appear in the Edible Book Festival gallery.
