Bookbinders Exhibition 2010 - Summary Report Even at halftime, when the next arrived guests at a Gullaschsuppe, a cake or a cup of coffee and tea break went, whispered (unofficially) a voice that had been paid so many visitors entrance, as in the previous year as a whole.
The unprecedented spatial situation in the palette with a well-doubled space spoiled the incumbents with more space and the new arrival were amazed by the descriptions of many years suffered abrasions and lacerations due to lack of space in front of the paper offers and the narrow and crowded in all gears. And if you manage the organization in the coming year, the pesky congestion at the entrance to disarm, then this could Bookbinders Exhibition attach the predicate "at best".
After these steps, the Bubi-Fair in Cologne, is a fantastic selection of colored papers and book ready textiles, which really leaves nothing to be desired. Even something as rare "or else only in USA to be procured Iris linen" in Honan-Opitk and best quality is offered and if so, bought. It is the way of a German Weaving (jaja!). to explore this material between the authorities all too familiar-gray-blue-green-mold colors was a real forward to it. Marble and paste papers with traditional, modern and avant-garde designs were in great demand not only at the global champions, but also for the newcomers. The leather range from southern Germany and France, and in smaller quantities or in different hardware vendors was totally inadequate and not criticize.
The Bookbinders technology, ie large and small tools and small machines (metal and wood) were present in a known quantity and quality. Cologne is certainly not the exhibition venue, which is discussed on hardware investment. Good company success also had the rare provider of courses and seminars.
All in all a nice event in a relaxed setting with plenty of space to browse and chat with friends. Perhaps lost in the next Year, a provider of antiquarian bookbinder needs to Cologne, as in Belgium, with embossing tools, presses, etc. This would do the show really well.
