For many years, Dea produced a small edition each year, usually under 30 books, in miniature (less than 3&#8243;) for the Small Book Exchange at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashevillebookworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BookWorks<\/a> in Asheville, NC.<br><br>\n\nThe Small Book Exchange was a project which raised funds for book artists to use the space at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ashevillebookworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BookWorks<\/a>\u00a0 to produce a small edition of their own. There was always a theme for the project and each participant received one of each book from the other binders. A few books were also auctioned or raffled at a grand event culminating at Book Opolis in the Fall of the year.<br><br>\n\nLight of Day offers instruction in miniature bookbinding and miniature marbling. We also offer help to individuals who want to desk top publish or commercially print small editions (under 300 copies) of their own stories, poetry, drawings or other projects. Books can be hard cover or soft, but the customer can be confident that their books will be guaranteed to withstand use, having been traditionally sewn and constructed. Light of Day does not fan glue books or spiral bind books.<br><br>\n\n<em>&#8211; click on images to enlarge and view details &#8211;<\/em><br><br>\n\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-71 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-responsive-150'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo083.jpg' title=\"Pull-off box revealing the miniature binding (under 3 inches) of &#039;The Rose&#039;.\" data-rl_title=\"Pull-off box revealing the miniature binding (under 3 inches) of &#039;The Rose&#039;.\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo083.jpg\" class=\"attachment-responsive-150 size-responsive-150\" alt=\"Miniature Books by Artist Dea Sasso\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo083.jpg 480w, https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo083-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo076.jpg' title=\"Miniature earings and &#039;The Rose&#039; as it is pulled from the box.\" data-rl_title=\"Miniature earings and &#039;The Rose&#039; as it is pulled from the box.\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo076.jpg\" class=\"attachment-responsive-150 size-responsive-150\" alt=\"Miniature Books by Artist Dea Sasso\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo076.jpg 480w, https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/RenatoRetolo076-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CabinetofCuriosities7-09-003.jpg' title=\"&#039;Cabinet of Curiosities&#039; hexagonal box with three shelves. all parts related to book arts.\" data-rl_title=\"&#039;Cabinet of Curiosities&#039; hexagonal box with three shelves. all parts related to book arts.\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CabinetofCuriosities7-09-003.jpg\" class=\"attachment-responsive-150 size-responsive-150\" alt=\"Miniature Books by Artist Dea Sasso\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CabinetofCuriosities7-09-003.jpg 480w, https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CabinetofCuriosities7-09-003-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/deasasso.com\/bindery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/CabinetofCuriosities7-09-004.jpg' title=\"Bon a Tirer means Good to Pull, as in printmaking.
