Making Books Survives in the Mission
By Justine Quart and Ryan Loughlin
In a city that is known for cutting-edge technology, Tim James of Taurus Bookbindery is working to preserve the tradition of handmade books. His bindery has been located in the Bay Area for over 40 years, and recently expanded to include a museum of book-making machinery.
If books are going to succeed, James says, they need to move back into something that is a little more personal.
