My friend Anna is in a book arts program right now, so I imagine her making the books in this video, but they're actually the work of Abigail Uhteg at the Women's Studio Workshop. I find the stitching that starts around 1:30 particularly mesmerizing. Seeing the process video for an intricate project like this makes the end product seem like a steal at $700, don't you think? (A free PDF of the book is also available here.)

As a book collector, I found this absolutely fascinating. Will there always be a place for special books, especially as people turn to the internet for reading? I find books an endangered species but maybe I'm being too glum about it. Meanwhile, I love to browse through magazines and books from the 1800s, when bookmaking was often quite an art!
