A reflective essay written while binding a large hand-sewn edition of the Alder & Frankia book “Our daily lives have to be a satisfaction in themselves.” A zine not on how to sew books, but rather about the observations, thoughts, and feelings that arise in the process of this patient and meditative labor.
Illustrated with images from Mary Van Kleek’s “Women in the Bookbinding Trade” (1913) and supplemented by a QR code bibliography threaded throughout.
