The American Academy of Bookbinding’s satellite campus is at Hollander’s School of Book and Paper Arts in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Located in the historic Kerrytown Shops, Hollander’s two-story location contains a 5,000 square foot retail shop and a 1,500 square foot bookbinding studio. Tom and Cindy Hollander opened their retail store in 1991 and established Hollander’s School of Book and Paper Arts in 1994. Hollander’s is one of the largest retail sources of decorative papers in the country, with over 1,200 different papers in stock. Hollander’s also stocks bookbinding tools and supplies including book cloths, leathers, glues, binder’s board and other related items. Students have 24-hour use of the studio and equipment. A small lounge includes a refrigerator and coffeepot.
In the Kerrytown District, with its brick streets and old buildings, students will find galleries, a museum, concert house, antiques, indoor and outdoor markets, courtyards and over 15 restaurants catering to all tastes. Ann Arbor is also home to the University of Michigan and there is a very active downtown area within easy walking distance of the Kerrytown District. To take full advantage of the area, we advise you to come early or stay after for a few days, as the courses require most of your time.
