Making
Bookbinding
A book is a machine for surviving hands. Sewing it is a way of taking that seriously.
It meets letterpress, archives, and the conservation labs that still have linen thread.
People who bind books often care about sequence: what the reader meets first.
On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside bookbinding reads “a sequence that survives handling.” It tends to meet letterpress, archives, and literature.
