The University of Cincinnati Libraries will celebrate the International Edible Books Festival with an event scheduled from 1-2 p.m., Tuesday, April 3, in the fifth floor lobby of Langsam Library.<\/p>\n

At the event, a record 26 participants will present their edible creations that represent a book in some form. There are few restrictions in creating an edible book \u2014 namely that the creation be edible and have something to do with a book. Submitted entries include edible titles such as “Dragons Love Tacos” and \u201cHow to Eat Fried Worms.\u201d Best sellers “The Help” and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone” are represented along with favorite children’s books “The Poky Little Puppy,” “Humpty Dumpty” and “Curious George at the Baseball Game,” among other literary greats. This year\u2019s event will even feature two mother-daughter teams.<\/p>\n

Interested in creating an edible book? E-mail melissa.norris@uc.edu<\/a> by Tuesday, March 27 with your name and the title of your creation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As in past years, entries will be judged according to such categories as “Most Literary,” “Most Delicious,” “Most Adorable” and “Most Gruesome.” In addition, the “Top Student Entry” and “Best Overall Entry” will receive a special prize. After the entries are judged they will be consumed and enjoyed by all in attendance.<\/p>\n

According to the International Edible Book Festival website, the edible book was initiated by librarian and artist Judith A. Hoffberg during a 1999 Thanksgiving celebration with book artists. It became an international celebration in 2000 when artist B\u00e9atrice Coron launched the Books2Eat website. Traditionally, the event is celebrated on April 1 (April Fools’ Day) to mark the birthday of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), a French lawyer and politician who became famous for his book, Physiologie du gout (The Physiology of Taste). You can see images of the 2017 edible books on the Libraries Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n
