'Watch the Intensive Process of Book Printing'

On his show Raw Craft, Anthony Bourdain visited Arion Press in San Francisco and "followed its artisans through the process, revealing just how much work goes into making a book almost entirely by hand. From proofreading the copy aloud to hand-sewing the binding, each tome assembled at Arion gets an enormous amount of attention and care. The result is a volume that's also a work of art," Mental Floss reported.

"It's an adventure making something of a book that is a tribute to the work of literature and to do something we hope will astonish people," said Andrew Hoyem, director of the press.
