new-born baby books; EB Bookbinding Seminar, Ann Arbor, MI
In case you guys care, I’m not dead. Just been busy and also a little bit lazy. I’m sure there has been nothing on the internet for you to do in my absence.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago some coworkers and I went to Michigan to attend a bookbinding seminar with one of our printers. Ann Arbor is much more suburban than anywhere I have been in a while, but after that adjustment (riding in cars! on the highway! Bennigan’s!) we had a pretty good time. And got to see lots of new-born books being made. Is anyone else as fascinated by industrial machinery as I am?
