A collection of bookbinding material samples and supply catalogs, with some supplementary materials on local bookbinding and printing resources.

Marie Kelzer began studying bookbinding in the 1980s and developed a strong interest in paste papers, which she continues to use in artist books, blank books, and other paper products like covered pencils and paper flowers. She sells and exhibits her pieces, which are considered highly collectible. As of 2018, she is based in Santa Monica, CA.
