Watching the documentary, I was reminded of what a beautiful craft bookmaking is. The great care that is taken in making a book from start to finish is mind-blowing. With the increasing ubiquity of the e-book, I sincerely hope that bookmaking doesn't become a lost art. You can see this amazing, meticulous process in the following video, "Birth of a Book." It was shot, directed, and edited by Glen Milner.
