Thank you to our host, the American Bookbinders Museum! The American Bookbinders Museum is the only museum of its kind in North America. They celebrate and share the history, tools, and process of bookbinding, including the tools of 1600s hand binding and the earliest machines that automated bookbinding in the 1800s. Learn more at bookbindersmuseum.org.
