For those of us who still have a love affair with old books (even if most of the ones I buy now are via my Kindle) this is a wonderful video. I don’t know anything about it’s origins, but it’s available via a Facebook page version, without any music. And it was posted to YouTube, with some music added. Take your pick.

I’ve got a lot of those old, leather-covered books in my collection, but I never really thought about what goes into putting them together. It’s fascinating to watch a craftsman put it all together.

Update: In the original post, I included a link to the original Facebook post here, but that is no longer available. You can still see the YouTube version below (to which someone has also added some music.)
