CODEX Book Fair 2026

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the First Bite Press table at the 2026 CODEX Book Fair in Oakland!

The event was another unique opportunity to spend a four days surrounded by the world’s best printers, bookbinders, and book artists. It was great to visit with old friends and make some new ones, as well as meet a few of our collectors in-person for the first time!
