Treasure Gems, the Annual yearbook of the Amalgamated Printers Association, is a collaborative book project intended to highlight the printing of its members in book form. The project began in 1971 and continues to provide a readily accessible glimpse into the APA over the years.<\/p>\n

The goal has long been to have every member contribute each year, but as of yet it has not been realized. If you are an APA Member, have you yet contributed a page for this year’s addition?\u00a0 Participation is optional but does count towards the 4 items per year participation requirement. Page size is standardized at 4.5″ x 6″ but subject matter is left entirely up to the members discretion. All members who contribute a page in a year receive a copy of that year’s edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
