I never realized how much work really goes into this! Definitely a traditional craft. I hope it stays alive.

There are waaaaay simpler ways of binding a book. This is the crème de la crème.

@robertphillips93 3 жыл бұрын

@@BexMcInulty And there are also way more involved ways . . . the raised hubs on this example are, for instance, a decorative stand-in for the appearance of a book sewn on cords and attached to split boards. As a craft, this sort of bookbinding is all but gone. As an art, however, many of the methods will survive -- with a much smaller clientele and higher prices!

Modern technology doesn’t make better books.the handmade books are still the best

thank you for being a sane vision of a beautiful craft. The Internet is so full of quick fixes and DIY; this is so refreshing and rewarding.

I’d give everything to apprentice to a master book binder. Move to another state, live on a couch, anything.

I love my maths and physics and electronics textbooks, they are my friends. I found your channel, so that I can learn bookbinding techniques and repair my old books and ones I purchase online. Bookbinding is such a beautiful trade to watch when done by Artisans.

I'm just watching your spot on Alan Titchmarsh and had to say how much I enjoyed it. My mum was a bookbinder, seeing all the old tools being used took me right back to my childhood watching her as she sewed books making them good again. She also used to work on the big bank ledgers, so many happy memories and I feel very proud of the amazing work she did.
