I wrote all the names on one side of a small piece of paper and the artist's country on the other side before folding them up and putting the pieces of paper in my hat, country side out. Darling daughter had only two rules to follow: ensure a good mix of countries and no more than eight names per group! Even she didn't get to find out the names until after the groups were put together.
So here is the grouping for BookArtObject Edition Four. It isn't entirely finished: if you can't see your name on the list it's probably because you haven't responded to my email to let me know which title/s you would like to use for your books. As more names come in I will either add them existing groups (ensuring no more than eight people per group) or add more groups.

Well done, both of you, a fantastic way to oganise things! They look like fair and functional groups, I'm getting all excited about making something!
Thanks, Sara, you're the best.
that's a clever offsider you have!
Thanks , Sara.
Thanks Sara,
I am looking forward to participating for the first time. I haven't noticed a deadline for completing the books, is there one, or do we have the whole year?
Probably worth a reminder post for Gail and others who are "new."
If we're to submit entries for Libris Awards, Sara will need a copy in, I think June, but the rest of the "swaps" can be later.
Gail, I see you're in my group so I'll be in touch when my schedule is nailed firmly in place. Right now? My calendar looks like a Rorschacht test!
Well organised Sara and daughter, looks interesting and certainly plenty participating. Even though I am unable to this time around I will be keeping an eye on the blog. Best of luck to all.
Thanks for sorting us out Sara. Good job!
Woops! I also wanted to say hi! and welcome to all the new members, and send a big cheery wave especially to the newcomers in Group 4 with me. Great to have you here Gail, Gillian, Bertie, Libby and Shawn. And of course hi! Di! Good to see a familiar face.
I would love to join in... if I may?

Sara, you have THE best assistant! She did a grrrrrrrreat work organizing our groups! I am in awe of your skills, your daughter's ability to come to rescue and succeeding forming the groups in such wavy and smooth style!
Amazing job and so impressive seeing BAO growing so rapidly right in front of our eyes!
Congratulations!!!
yes amanda - you're right - I big wave and cheerio and etc to every new body - I will endeavour to travel around the interwebs to get to know everyone involved (not made straight forward I must say when many of us use quirky blogger names - so I'm really looking forward to a decoder or a link list at the least!) - I'll give a special wave to all in group three (ps ronnie = Rhonda Ayliffe = me!) Today I've slowly found websites of some of my fellow group members and I must say I'm feeling v. honoured to be in a group of wonderful and interesting artists... let the fun begin!
All very exciting and thanks again to Sara for all the organisation.
Glenys if you haven't seen it the form to join up is here:

A decoder is a good idea Ronnie. I am confused already with real names and blog names :-)
I am Angela Callanan and my blog is PreciousLittleBirdy :-)
Welcome to all the new people. Really looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing work in progress.
Hello Group Eight from a BOILING hot, tar melting day here in South Africa. Looking forward to hearing from you all :-) X
