I never realized how much work really goes into this! Definitely a traditional craft. I hope it stays alive.
There are waaaaay simpler ways of binding a book. This is the crème de la crème.
@@BexMcInulty And there are also way more involved ways . . . the raised hubs on this example are, for instance, a decorative stand-in for the appearance of a book sewn on cords and attached to split boards. As a craft, this sort of bookbinding is all but gone. As an art, however, many of the methods will survive -- with a much smaller clientele and higher prices!
Modern technology doesn’t make better books.the handmade books are still the best
I’d give everything to apprentice to a master book binder. Move to another state, live on a couch, anything.
thank you for being a sane vision of a beautiful craft. The Internet is so full of quick fixes and DIY; this is so refreshing and rewarding.
The most awesome part of this clip is that some people are still preserving this beautiful craft & art to this generation...and may be the following generation..hats off to the team!
That is a lot of works, time, materials, and patience just to bind a book. wow. It is an ART.
God bless the people who love books.
This is wonderful! Beautifully done. I'll watch it again and again.
Small wonder that personal libraries were treasured for generations❤️.
Oh how I would love an uncut version of this. I’d watch the entire process!
I love my maths and physics and electronics textbooks, they are my friends. I found your channel, so that I can learn bookbinding techniques and repair my old books and ones I purchase online. Bookbinding is such a beautiful trade to watch when done by Artisans.
Pure magic. I could watch it forever.
I'm just watching your spot on Alan Titchmarsh and had to say how much I enjoyed it. My mum was a bookbinder, seeing all the old tools being used took me right back to my childhood watching her as she sewed books making them good again. She also used to work on the big bank ledgers, so many happy memories and I feel very proud of the amazing work she did.
I now appreciate books for not only their printed words, but for their entire treasure of a master work.
How l wish l had learned this in my youth.
what I would give to work in a workshop like this one.
Absolutely magnificent. It's so nice to see that this wonderful art is being kept alive today.
I’ve probably watched this video 50 times so far this year.
OMG - that is so beautiful. It just wonderful to know that someone still does things this way.
I was a letterpress printer/compositor in a small/medium jobbing shop in the North East of England. I have never seen the end result of finished print made into a book. This is most absorbing and thoroughly entertaining, thank you for sharing.
I accidentally landed here and couldn't stop watching this video! Mesmerizing and yes me too, I'd love an opportunity to apprentice to this sort of craftsmanship.
What a wonderful video. I love Books and have a
love of Handmade things.
Thank you for this great video,
Jeff
Now I understand why the binding of valuable books in leather with golden letters never can be done automatically by machines, and why this costs a bit, and why some editions are limited. Very good and instructive video. Thank you. Regards from Germany.
This is a true magic! Unbelievable craftsmanship
This video feels like heaven !
Thank you for making something so everyday work into something soooo special
True masters of the craft.
This is great preserving a lost art. I believe we will always need books especially the Bible. God Bless
Those books are absolutely beautiful!
FASCINATING!! Utterly brilliant, and spell “binding” if you will. This is such a beautiful art, and the history alone just makes me admire your skill even more so. I am so grateful to know that you will keep this tradition alive and well. I would have loved to apprentice there with you. I am certain that this would have been a very interesting and fulfilling job. Warm regards, from Canada eh!
I wish I could work here. I’m only 17 but I’m extremely interested in bookbinding. It is such a beautiful craft.
This is the best ved I’ve seen on bookbinding for beginners as well as people who just want a refresher coarse!
What an absolutely beautiful process this is how great literature should be kept..

The Chelsea bindery is more meticulous than most binderies, and their prices reflect their devotion to the craft. Some of the books for sale on their web site -- classic books rebound in leather -- are priced in thousands of dollars. Very few are available for less than $1000. Of course, the price is directly related to the quality of the leather chosen and the amount of tooling ordered for the cover. Which is why a sixty year old leather book with fine tooling that sells for, say, $300, cannot be replicated today for twice that amount. The cost of leather, gold leaf, and labor keeps going up each year, and the number of competent binderies keeps shrinking. Collecting fine bindings is not a hobby for the penurious. For those that can afford it, Chelsea is among the very best.
superb
Respect.
very interesting
So basically most hardback books of the 19th century were actually hand-made? Great video BTW, very informative.
Apparently some still are or at least repaired.
Great!
what beauties!!!
Thank you very much for your excellent explanation and for showing the workshop. why do you use animal glue?
Maravilhoso!
Olá
sou do Brasil.
Me apaixonei por essa arte. É muito linda. Eu gostaria muito de aprender.
WOW!
شكرا جزيلا لحضراتكم وياربي ارسال اى فديو جديد وشكرا لكم
wow!
Mravilhoso, aqui do Brasil.
Craftsmanship!
Wonderful work, however does the value of a fine first edition drop or go up with a fine binding like this, obviously the book is not in its original state?
Hello! very interesting video, i enjoyed every bit of it.
If i would like to learn the art of lether book binding, how could i do so? are there any institutions that could offer any courses?
what kind of glue do you use for bindingbook?
How do I find popular fiction ready to be cut and put into signatures? I have been binding blank sheeted notebooks but would like to bind books to read. Thanks much.
Ps, bloody steady hand in skiving off the edges!
ماهو نوع الجلد المستخدم في التغليف ممكن اعرف
Is Pallets are used for making curved lines?
Can you do this to my kindle?
Can you bind digitally and freely available books from Google books?
How long does the whole process typically take?
How hard is it to rebind a book? Once the leathers get so brittle and falling apart but the body of the book is still in great shape. Does binding have to be from the beginning all the way through or can old books be saved?
Until my dad, this was our family profession for centuries.
How far back can you trace it?
Time to resurrect the family trade?
