A Book Is Born

/

I’ve always loved printing and binding. Long before I loved technology I loved printing postcards, season brochures for arts organizations, program books for performing arts events. There is something about the feel of paper, the smell of ink and the subtle imperfections that indicate a printed piece was assembled by hand. 

Let us end the week with a beautiful video by Glen Milner for The Daily Telegraph, shot at Smith-Settle Printers, Leeds, England.

A short vignette of a book being created using traditional printing methods. For the Daily Telegraph. Shot at Smith-Settle Printers, Leeds, England. The book being printed is Suzanne St Albans’ 'Mango and Mimosa' published as part of the Slightly Foxed series. Shot, Directed & Edited by Glen Milner
