1. EDIBLE OR NOT BOOK ART CONTEST Presented by Truman Middle School

2. TRUMAN LIBRARY MARCH 28 TH 6:00-7:30 p.m.

3. WHAT IS AN EDIBLE BOOK ART CONTEST? Edible books showcase literary inspiration by using puns to change the title, the author, or take the shape or form of a book. The festival honors French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), famous for his book, The Physiology of Taste, a witty meditation on food. His birth date is April 1st. He wrote: The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity than the discovery of a new star. The event is usually held on or close to April Fools Day.
