Just in case anyone cared, this was recorded at a print shop in White Plains, MD called AGS. Upper management made a big deal out of these guys coming and had us clean all the equipment and hang our logo on everything. Pretty funny to see that not a single shot of a logo made it on the episode.
I pray that paper books never leave the market. Although ebooks save paper and are cheaper, I still love the feeling of actually turning a paper page and reading them with my fingers holding the book. I pray that bookstores and libraries never get demolished. Paper books, FTW!
***** Well I love having a collection to display and stuff, also, e-readers are dependent on batteries and if you lose it it's expensive, if you lose a book you just buy another, way cheaper.
@@Carrosive Similar, but not like most hardcover books I've had which are collections of folded groups of pages which are then attached to a spine which is separate from the outer cover.
EETechs Textbook costs are mostly about licensing; every image and table has distribution rights and the rights holders need to be paid according to their licensing agreements, which can have expiration dates, fees per book, or fees per printing. On top of that, because a school or professor will require a specific textbook, there is no competition. With a veritable monopoly, publishers can charge significant markup.
as a former employee of a book making company. i remember those machines all too well. then the economy got bad and it closed but i miss it. we used to put all kinds of books together. but we called that machine she called the guillotine a trimmer and we stacked them different.
I did this by hand in a high school course. We did manual guillotine cutting, held down the stack with a large vise, and dipped our hands in glue to apply it to the side. Since it's not really necessary anymore, it's just interesting knowledge and 2 stacks of notepads I have left.
Came here to see if it's BS or not. I work in a factory that makes books and that's exactly how are made. The first machine is used for small tiny "books" usually made for advertisement or instructions for a product. But I mostly work on the second machine, I feed the machine with signatures (stacks of pages, we must be careful because the machine doesn't recognize if the pages are in correct order).
I am writing a Novel at the minute and wanted to know how books are bound, and didn't realize that I had my volume up. It's pretty late and woke everyone up with "BOOK BINDING".
On the guillotine, the operator uses a foot pedal to bring down the press and then pushes a button with each hand to bring down the blade. His hands were safe.
I had 49 years in the print finishing trade, very stressfull work.Usually the managers of print factories dont know much about the shop floor problems, or care, its all down to get the job out to the customer ASAP.

Not sure where you're from but here in America we pronounce it like she did. It's not about being ignorant it's just the way we pronounce it and it wouldn't sound good any other way. It's just like Americas pronounce Adidas a certain way. Nothing to get offended about.
I only came here because the thought of how textbooks were made popped into my head while studying Organic Chem wondering how all this info in my text book was printed 😂 what a distraction 😅
that type of industrial machine (hydraulic presses) is usually is protected, probably there's a sensor that stops the machine if there's something inside the moving part zone.
I miss running buckle folders... and presses... and cutters and stitchers and all things printing lol..... I haven't printed a sheet in over 20 years but I guarantee I'd walk back into the trade like it's just been a 4 day weekend
Omg WHY! Btw did you notice Papyrus and sans are brothers. Papyrus is a type of paper, and sans is a font. Sans belongs on Papyrus (or other paper) ILLUMI-NITED CONFIRMED
@Sciencebox2010 It's a lot less dangerous than it looks... the first bar that comes down is the clamp to stop the paper from shifting, and it's non-serrated so it wouldn't cut you, nor would it crush your hand either because it is likely sensor or operator driven. The blade only comes down when the technician stands back and his hands are well clear... it's most likely operated by foot pedal. It just looks very fluid and automated because he's probably done it thousands of times.
@Sciencebox2010 You know those guillotines have laser sensors which cut the machine out if you get anywhere near the blade as it trims, and there are 2 buttons which are both underneath the bench that have to be pushed together and held to activate the blade...so it's literally impossible for your hands to be near it as it trims :) it's safer than a working in a kitchen.
i was sitting on the toilet when I had the sudden desire to know how books are made. so when i was done I went on youtube, searched it up, and watched this video. thanks. lol.
What about before all that? Do they have to retype every word of the manuscript again and again to make the pages? What about before e computers/ Especially with illustrations....
@weaver2109 There's a foot pedal that he has to reach and then push down for the guillotine to work, so it's not as bad as you think. It's not like he only have a few seconds to do the job before it comes down. lol. He control when it does.

the title of this episode was actually "How It's made - BookBINDING" so ofcourse they will only show the bookbinding part. maybe the uploader had a little mistake and entitled it as "How It's made - Book"
books from my school use perfect bindings and it really irritating after about 3 months the pages inside the books starts to ripping of each time i turn the pages.
we went to see one on a school trip last year, the machine has a sensor, so it wont cut ur fingers off :P it stops automatically if something crosses the sensor
Why is that? There are so many safety devices that it's fairly hard to injure yourself unless you get your fingers caught under the 'hold down clamp' - you control that with your foot. Go to the search and put in "Printing Industry - Heidelberg Polar Pace Cutter System". The system shown is a fully automatic model, but gives you a good idea of what goes on.

darthstarkiller1912 Same here. But it's such a shame when it gets damaged.
Read Fahrenheit 451 ;)
Watches "How It's Made Books", learns how magazines are made.
Erik Lauri Kulo well this is how paperbacks are made anyway
SleepyPanda only kind of. I have made a book by hand and it takes a lot more than that.
PinkFreud my paperback ain't got no staples
@@CourtneyMeyer81094 how long dio that take? You should make a video about it.
Well that’s the most that the typical American reads
"book binding"
Shows making a throw-away junk/ad magazine.
Pete Brown its still a book though
LMAO
It's the same method

Am i the only here who imagined how if my hand were on that machine?
how what?
Jeje Ivanovsky I was fing afraid for the guy. Workers' comp2daMAX
That would be a great story.
Those machines have a safety guard where you need to press 2 buttons, one for each hand at about shoulder width apart before the machine will cut
I like anbjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
Now I just need to know how they can justify $200+ for a college textbook.............

+Baltasar Jimenez A LOT of the problem with textbook pricing: they don't print very many, and they're huge.
EETechs I suppose you have a better/cheaper method to make a book, did you not see the machinery put the boooks together?

Missy Lucky muller martini machines if I remember correctly.
She said guillotine wrong
They're actually magazines
Yes your right, they need to change their title!
My favourite book is Geronimo Stilton
And also I love books and his cool
Books on my favourites
Narrator from airline safety announcement explains how magazines are made. Nausea from overinflection, hyperinflection
wow it is amazing how the machine crops the thick books so easily.

Where can I read your book?
"The staples are cut from steel wire that's so strong, you have to tear the book apart to remove them". How about just a staple remover?
That's what they mean. If you clamp a staple remover over those staples, it rips up the pages as you remove them.
I could honestly fall asleep to this, the machines are so relaxing
I loved the intricate sketches prior to the construction. :)

its still in the making :O
Go watch How Its Made: Season 15 episode 4: Traditional Bookbinding.
Oh. It's one those voiced by that woman who sounds like a cross between a stoned Dalek and the dad from Eraserhead.
oh hiya doctor

Lmao
Very Interesting Video Thank You for sharing!
0:55
Its like no one has ever said guillotine around her...
If you pronounce it like that you are ignorant. Its a word borrowed from french and is pronounced as such. We dont say " The Home Dee Pot" do we?
+twothousandcookies its like people who say "ver SAILS" for "versailles"
This narrator gets the most scrutiny because of her infamous voice and pronunciations.

I agree, I work as a bookbinder and they missed alot in this video, but I think they're just showing some general stuff.
Thanks. I used this for my class.
2:30-2:40 CRAZY SLO-MO Stapling ACTION!
Thank you! Very educational!
Literally only watched this for sort of ideas on how to bind my book series
that type of industrial machine (hydraulic presses) is usually is protected, probably there's a sensor that stops the machine if there's something inside the moving part zone.
Thanks you for the lesson !
The cut is so satisfying

Perfect bind machines are such a pain in the ass.

Amazing process.
Imagine if just one of those pages got out of place
Look at that staple action

great work
the consonates in that first sentence
Books taught me more English than all of my English teachers combined.
I'll go back to binding my own books thanks... no glued or stapled spines for my notebooks and sketchbooks
I have operated all of these machines except the guillotine. Some days I really miss it.
I like how she says "process."
What about before all that? Do they have to retype every word of the manuscript again and again to make the pages? What about before e computers/ Especially with illustrations....
is it possible to make a home made book with a staple in the folded line? like in comic books
@weaver2109 There's a foot pedal that he has to reach and then push down for the guillotine to work, so it's not as bad as you think. It's not like he only have a few seconds to do the job before it comes down. lol. He control when it does.
beautiful..
Holy crap! It's Robot!! Mom and I hear her all the time on TV!!
Amaizing!
CNC guillotines are very safe machines. They are designed so that the blade ram will not operate if your arms are sitting over or on the table.
PROH-SESS
take a shot everytime she says "slow motion"
I made it to one min now i feel woozy
most guillotines have a foot pedal and 1/2 buttons to push as a safety mechanism.
normally 2 so you have both your hands out of the machine.
That voice makes me laugh! XD
XD. I've tried this. You need to push two buttons at the same time to make the cut. It´s fairly safe.
@weaver2109 I had that job as a tween and teen. It doesn't cut until you push a button with your foot. I still have all ten fingers.
The only difference between a magazine and a book is the number of advertisements. The binding methods are the same.
@sTyLnK i think he has to push 2 buttons, 1 with each hand to make the gillotine operate, so it is 100% sure that he has no hand under there
i have so many books glues way and they tear pages when i turn a page
I love the woman at the start, her voice is so funny
What about huge books like text books and regular reading books?
Addicting...
Unless the operator locks one of the buttons for faster operating. That`s why photo-barriers where invented :)
I have a bookshelf with 7 shelves of books!!! When u don't have a movie, just go to books, movies for your mind!!! LOL
"appropriately called the GILL OH TEEN" DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP
It depends on the type of textbook. All of the textbooks I currently used aren't bound like this.

we went to see one on a school trip last year, the machine has a sensor, so it wont cut ur fingers off :P it stops automatically if something crosses the sensor
It's amazing how people get both top comments.
Perfect binding is anything but.
What about hard cover books?
They almost look like magazines!
I'm trying to find out how to get my comic book made in hard back
Now I know why sometimes I get books with pages still sticking together... the 3-side cutter thing must have missed it.
the music, so so sensual
