Thank You bruce.desertrat! That was an outstanding documentary and had no idea that it was that old a craft. True artisans and maintaining and restoring old books is near and dear to me. Have a few turn of the century first and second editions that I cherish, although not of great market value, they hold a special place for me like, Alfred North Whiteheads "Adventure of Idea". My wife gave me a later signed first edition of the Bourne Identity awhile back and have all the first hardbounds of Richard Bach that he signed for me at a signing I attended. The feel and smell, the bindings and graphics give me pause sometimes. I'm an old used/book store junky...along with tools of course!

Thanks again...Fascinating craft being carried on!
