Since 1995 the Fellowship of American Bibliophilic Societies has published a semi-annual journal for members of affiliate clubs. Each journal issue contains bibliographical articles, reviews, announcements, and news from member clubs. Copies of each issue are bulk shipped to our affiliated clubs and are then distributed to their members. Paid advertising is published in each issue. Single subscriptions to institutions and individuals are not available at this time. The submission of articles for the FABS Journal is encouraged. All correspondence and submissions should be sent to the Journal Editor (Tess Goodman) at journal.fabs@gmail.com.
FABS Journal
The FABS Journal is published twice a year, in the Fall and Spring, for the benefit of the member book clubs comprising over 5,000 individual members, and the international affiliate member clubs. Advertisers reach collectors as well as professionals in all aspects of book arts, production and sales. The content comes from book collectors, book dealers, and librarians and is split fairly evenly between articles, club news, and advertising. Advertising is accepted on a first-come, first-paid basis. The Journal designer is Scott Vile, Ascensius Press
