I’m not a big YouTube guy, but this is interesting, and I know a lot of people in here are reading/looking forward to reading Wind and Truth. Her end result is some beautiful (obviously impractical) books that make the regular giant hardcovers look like little baby books.

If you ignore the handful of YouTube-isms it’s a pretty cool video.

edit: adding screenshot of the books compared to the regular ones.

    I need to take another shot at reading those at some point. I was into it for a while, but fell away from it when it got kind of bogged down in the middle.

    I thought the process here was really interesting, though. I can barely resist spending a stupid amount of money I can’t justify on all his regular leatherbounds and am a big fan of leatherworking in general (though my “projects” are super basic). The stress of trying to perfectly bind my singular licensed printing of a book like this would kill me lol, but it was cool to see how they set it all up.

      I had that experience. I tried reading it again (starting over because it had been so long), but fell away from it again when it got kind of bogged down near the beginning.

      I may try again soon (without starting over). Wish me luck.
