The bindery, room by room

Every book crosses four rooms.

Six weeks, four benches, one object at the end of it. The rest of this page is those four rooms in the order a book meets them.

01

Folding

Flat sheets become signatures, in order.

02

Sewing

Thread, not glue, so the book opens flat.

03

Boards

Millboard cut to the page, covered by hand.

04

Finishing

Gold foil titling, then the last inspection.
