The Beautiful Art of Making a Book by Hand

There are some arts that have been lost to new technology and mass production. Book binding is one of those arts. This video shows the process of handmade books; from printing the pages to binding and embossing the cover.

I love reading but with cheaper produced paperbacks and now e-books it's harder and harder to find beautifully made hardback books.Handmade books were so incredibly made that they would last and have lasted for centuries in some cases.

The pain staking, tediousness of placing each die to construct the sentences of the pages. Hand inking the pages, cutting the pages, hand stitching the pages together, adding the cover it is definitely a lost art.

Watch as this video shows just what a beautiful and amazing craft book making is.
