About the Workshop:
This in-person class at the Center for Book Arts and the Grolier Club is taught by instructor Reid Byers. Imaginary Books are simulacra, parodies of books that are either lost, never were finished, or only appear in stories in other books. The making of an imaginary book is a creative project that is one part literary, one part artistic, and one part theatrical. It results in a liminal object that separates us only by a thin line from the door into Wonderland. This course consists of two sessions, the first at the members’ exhibition space at the Grolier Club (47 East 60th St) for a tour of some 100 imaginary books, and the second, the following day, at the Center for Book Arts for a planning and design session for the students’ own projects. Students are asked to find (or invent) an idea for an imaginary book (preferably a book referred to in a novel or play). We will go through the literary process of documenting the book bibliographically and the artistic process of planning and designing the appropriate simulacrum. We will examine the many options available for instantiating the idea as a book object and select one for each student project. The discussion will conclude with an outline of an appropriate theatrical process for displaying and presenting the imaginary book as well as other kinds of fictive artRequired Materials:
- An idea or two for an imaginary book that the student would like to see realized
- Paper and pencil or pen, or ipad, tablet, or laptop, or whatever you are most comfortable writing and designing with

Pricey but they work
Style: Ink
Pricey but the remanufactured ones either don't work at all, or they work for a short time then go belly up...

Run out of ink quickly
Style: Ink
When you have the Epson work Workforce Pro 3820 it only accepts Epson cartridges none of the cheaper ones Epson cartridges run out of ink really fast I actually had some of the non-epson brand cartridges in there they worked a couple of times but then one day they absolutely refuse to work so they're worthless and then I had to actually buy the Epson brand name

Good value!
Style: Ink
Received in a timely manner. Installed with ease. Only printed a few pages but all is good so far.
Price is more than I would like but very competitive and attractive compared to local office supply stores.

Very Straightforward and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I have used this several times, and it has always been a smooth and convenient experience.
The biggest advantage is how intuitive the process is. Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion.
It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases. Instead of entering payment details every time, having balance available makes checkout faster and more convenient.
I also appreciate how quickly the funds are applied, allowing immediate use once the reload is completed.
This is one of those simple Amazon features that works exactly the way it should.
Overall, easy, efficient, and user-friendly. I have been very satisfied with it. Five stars.
