@@NickCasioppo-l5e How many mass-produced paperbacks does it take to match the environmental impact of a leather-bound? How about ebook versions? Of course, every read of an ebook consumes more resources, so you need to consider lifetime reads of one, and if someone's using a dedicated device, then that cost needs to be considered too (using an app on a device you'd have anyway, you can ignore the device's cost, but not the app's). How do environmental costs compare per dollar spent?

This was fascinating. When I was getting my undergraduate 30+ years ago I had a friend getting her Masters in Book Arts. I saw a lot of what she did. I guess I assumed a mass printed book would have been much more automated by now. It’s incredibly moving to see just how many people literally had a hand in creating the beautiful books on my shelves. I have never questioned the pricing of these books. After all I don’t NEED them to read the book, but now I’m amazed they don’t cost even more. I’m a lifelong reader, but I wasn’t able to collect special editions until the last 8-10 years. Just yesterday while out to lunch with my nephew and his girlfriend I showed them the Words of Radiance edition. I felt bad when I realized after their reaction that I was paying almost one month of his rent. I get it, I was in that position for many years so I am very grateful I can now afford luxuries. When we got home I showed him my Way of Kings leather bound plus some of my other special editions. He will inherit my collection some day and hadn’t realized that a many were more valuable than he thought. Do I have to have them? No. But this video also showed me how many jobs my hobby supports and that makes me happy. I’d love to see more behind the scenes content like this.

As a an amateur bookbinder I'm geeking out at seeing a large scale machine production of a leatherbound book. I've made a leatherbound only once before with spine pleats (but not as nice as the Stormlight oness here) but it took me so long to complete it! Although machinery will never replace human hands, it does make the tedious steps easier and faster! The slight rounding and backing by machinery was perplexing, but probably because I'm more familiar with doing it by hand. Bookbinding and physical books are a work of art necessary to humanity and the human experience, we must never ever let the digital age and any technological advancement erase this legacy.

Each of your leather bound books is a work of art and is proudly displayed on my shelves alongside my other leather bound books.
