Because reading books and having them bound represent two enormously different stages of development. First, people gradually get used to reading, over centuries naturally, but they don't take care of their books and toss them around. Having books bound signifies respect for the book; it indicates that people not only love to read, but they view it an important occupation.
About SLG Bookbinding
About SLG Bookbinding
In 2017 I found my love and passion for traditional bookbinding. It was one of those weird moments in life when something quite ordinary opens up an unexpected door. It was unplanned, unexpected, but absolutely wonderful, and I have not looked back since.
All my books are handcrafted with care, using quality materials (handmade where possible), traditional techniques, and a love for the traditional bookbinding trade. I am working to keep century-old bookbinding traditions and knowledge that were once prevalent but are now forgotten in our modern and fast-paced world alive.
