What is the Edible Book Festival?
This is an event that has been happening annually on April 1st for several years. People make edible objects that are somehow "bookish" and then get together and share their projects. There are groups all around the world who participate in this event. It isn't really about bookbinding; it is more about celebrating literature and creativity. The festival was started in 2000, by Judith Hoffberg. You can read about the history and about Judith, on the website: www.books2eat.com
The guideline given is that "all edible books must be 'bookish' through the integration of text, literary inspiration or, quite simply, the form." So the results are wide-ranging. Sometimes the results looks like books, but mostly they do not. You can find a lot of pictures online. The books2eat.com website has galleries of photos from every year of the festival.
