The texture of paper felt at the fingertips, the smell of paper sensed through the nose, and graphics expressed with ink rather than light somehow fill a sensory gap that is lacking in the digital environment.
This book is a guide to bookmaking that begins from this sense of satisfaction. It shares only the essential information needed for efficient book production, expecting the unique creations that will emerge from the personal sensibilities of various individuals.
The content of the book is organized into editing, printing, paper, bookbinding, post-processing, and references, helping readers efficiently unleash their creativity through concise guidelines.
One interesting feature is its two-layer cover, which resembles a tool kit. The outer cover, made of corrugated cardboard with cut-out shapes of bookbinding tools, overlays an inner cover printed with images of those tools.
Ultimately, the project was successfully funded with the support of 72 backers on the crowdfunding platform Tumblbug as of June 9, 2021.
