VDM Publishing is contacting many of our alumni about publishing their thesis.
Quoted text from a VDM email:
"Dear ___________,
I am writing on behalf of the international academic publisher, VDM Publishing House Ltd.
In the course of a research at the Library of Rhode Island School of Design, we came across a reference to your thesis on "Title of your RISD Thesis".
As we would like to make your work available to a larger audience, I am wondering if you may be interested in publishing your thesis in the form of a printed book.
Your reply including an e-mail address to which I can send an e-mail with further information in an attachment will be greatly appreciated.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Book in a Day
Print a small book edition in one day, combining text & image with hand printing & water based inks. Even if you have never made an image before, you will gain confi-dence and amaze yourself and your friends when you show off your very own book! Create and design your image, transfer the image, plan the printing sequence, carve a soft block, and print it by hand with a brayer and water based inks.

In this workshop, students will create an accordion book with text and images, and complete a small edition (up to 4 books). All materials will be provided (paper, type, soft blocks, brayers, inks, collage papers, Speedball carving tools).
