Joan Knoertzer
Joan Knoertzer got into collecting miniature books 25 years ago when she downsized her home upon retirement from a musician’s career. She joined the International Miniature Book Society and has served on board the many times since then. Spurred on by Ann Arbor’s (Joan’s hometown) hosting of the MBS Conclave in 2006, she decided to write a book done in miniature in the style of 16th Century France. Together with Randy Aspund, a medieval artist, they spent two years putting the miniature together with illuminations and calligraphy.
