Produced by the Seattle Center for Book Arts
Supported by a grant from the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs

(but don't bother coming after 1:30 cuz we eat all the books at 2:00!)
The Good Shepherd Center
4th Flr Chapel Room
4649 Sunnyside Ave North, Seattle, WA
* Admission is free for those bringing entries and $10 for those without entries.
Eat a Book Today! combines the creative and culinary talents of NW bibliophiles, foodies, book artists, chefs, bakers, librarians, kids and punsters.
Register your Edible Entries by midnight March 31st by emailing us (no need to register if you're not bringing an entry). Create and bring a piece of edible art related to books: it can pun on a title, refer to a scene or character, look like a book (or paper, scroll etc), or just have something to do with books. Whatever the inspiration - it must be edible.
Every type of book---children's classics, detective novels, biographies, fiction and non, poetry, short stories ---will be sculpted from a smörgåsbord of foodstuffs. Imagine The Brothers Karamatzah, S'more and Peace, Alice in Wonderbread, The Bun Also Rises, Goodnight Moon Pie, Curd Vonnegut... and so many more brainy, beautiful, silly, clever and tasty transubstantiations of books we love into treats we eat!
Bringing a book? come around 11:00.
Not bringing a book? Come at NOON - no later than 1:00 - or you won't have time to see them!
If you are interpreting a particular book, bring a copy of it to display alongside your masterpiece.
