Openings: Studies in Book Art is a peer-reviewed online journal of the College Book Art Association (CBAA) that publishes critical, historical, and theoretical articles, reviews, and interviews about book art and its pedagogy. Contributions from diverse perspectives are welcome as are interdisciplinary and international explorations of the relationship of book art to the broader art world and to related fields such as poetry, graphic design, printmaking, digital media, and other textual and/or visual disciplines.

Although we are transitioning to an open access journal, currently the journal is only available to members of CBAA.
