A big tip of the hat to loyal Travel Between The Pages follower Bonnie B. for sharing the wonderful video below titled “Making A Medieval Book.” In just 24 minutes the video demonstrates the 60 hour process of creating a gorgeous handmade book. I’ve seen other bookmaking videos, but this one from Four Keys Book Arts in Canada is by far the most interesting and comprehensive.

So much care to detail went into that. The gold embossing was really cool to watch.
Unbelievably painstaking process!
Thanks for sharing. I have done some of these steps in a monastery where we were binding books, but didn’t do the whole process.
I’ve done some minor repairs to 18th and 19th century books, and that was daunting. I am in awe of folks who have the skills to actually create books.
Yes, quite an art!
What an amazing process!
