A Return to Slow

REMEMBER THESE?

Glen Milner produced this wonderful video of traditional bookbinding. As I watched, I could almost feel the texture of the paper between my hands. I can only hope, as we transfer our reading material to computers, that we keep a place for beautifully made books.

Mr. Milner shot, directed and edited the video which was shot at Smith-Settle Printers, Leeds, England:

When I first saw this video, I thought of our recent houseguest, Carol - who enjoyed reading a book on her Ipad! This is for you, Carol!
