Sarah Royal spent some time working in a Chicago book bindery, and writes candidly about her experience there. From the get-go, she dispels any of our illusions of book-making fant asy, "It's a glorified Kinko's..." and gives us a guided tour of her work and co-workers. It's funny—especially the snippets of dialog—and it's full of beautiful photos of the bindery. Sometimes the humor is at the expense of her co-workers, or those in the bindery's hilariously out-of-control neighborhood. If you like stories about quirky employees interacting, or killing time on the clock, then this book is for you!4" x 6" booklet, 96 pages. Show more
