Art Lover's Guide, Volumes 1, 2, and 3 (2004–2007)
In 2003 Tome Town founder Barbara Lugge founded and published Art Lover's Guide, an annual art guide covering central Texas. She coordinated work from artists, designers, editors, writers, proofreaders, photographers, and printers to complete the first issue. For subsequent editions, she handled the book’s design and layout entirely. Each year 60,000 guides were printed.

Little Brew by Barbara Lugge
For two days in 1977, I was allowed free reign of the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. I was there on assignment, the final assignment for my photojournalism course at the University of Texas, in Austin. Upon the brewery's 100th anniversary in 2009, I decided to pull out my old slides to make this book. The Shiner brand of brews is winning awards in worldwide brewers’ competitions. Every drop still handcrafted at the “Little Brewery” in Shiner, Texas.
