Book Design Pr0n
November 9th, 2009
So there’s a book out there called Pictorial Websters. To put it simply, it’s a book of artwork from the engravings of Websters from the 1800’s. In other words, a look into the past. But as this video shows, it’s really a work of love and art. If you’re a book designer, print designer, print maker, book binder, or just like cool shit, you’ll be entranced in this video about it’s 10-year creation as I have been.

It'll have to wait till I get home form work to watch it with sound, but halfway through on silent I just want me one of those automated old school presses.
