One Life, One Book, One Time, a Coptic-sewn book with a full-case binding of brown calfskin nestled in the belly of a doll, is the title of one of 50 Guild of Book Workers juried pieces that comprise the “Marking Time” exhibit on view through November 22, 2009 at San Francisco Public Library’s main branch. Created by book binder Kathy Strother of Greenville, South Carolina, the doll is a metaphor for a woman and the book represents her children and her life. The exhibit will travel to nine venues across the country through March 2011.
