The Third Annual Edible Book/High Low Tea is again upon us on 1 April or 31 March 2002! Spain to join this year!
The International Edible Book Festival is a yearly event on April 1 throughout the world from 2-4 p.m. (depending upon time zone). The edible books are exhibited and, at 4 p.m., tea and/or coffee is served and the,books are consumed. For this High/Low tea, all works of art must be edible and have something to do with books! Each participating group or individual is responsible for its/his/her own audience and website. From 2-4 p.m., you sip High/Low Tea while viewing the edible exhibit. At 4 p.m., you photograph the work and eat it too. All venues are requested to take photographs or record in video their event and displayed books. Please send copies of two menus and photographs to this address: Umbrella, P.O. Box 3640, Santa Monica, CA 90408.The documentation will be used for a potential (non-edible) book by Umbrella Editions. A description and links of all participants around the world will be available at Books2Eat. Tickets could be sold for the event; each venue can thus use Books2Eat as a fundraiser for book centers and organizations. For documentation and images of the First International Edible Book Festival, please visit the 2000 Festival.

Hoffberg over a Thanksgiving turkey with book artists in 1999, the Edible Book High/Low Tea has become a sensation and will probably make radio and TV in 2002!
