In Champaign-Urbana and around the world, bibliophiles, book artists, and food lovers gather to celebrate the book arts and the (literal!) ingestion of culture.  Participants create an "edible book," which can be inspired by a favorite tale, involve a pun on a famous title, or simply be in the shape of a book (or scroll, or tablet, etc).  All entries will be exhibited, documented, then EATEN!  Photographs of all edible books will appear in the Edible Book Festival gallery.

Public viewing of entries begins at 11:30, a welcome and judges' commentary are at 12:15, and eating of the books takes place at 12:45.
