eBooks have been increasing in popularity over the last year. In September of 2011, 8 of the top 20 titles on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list were eBooks.
"Any publisher will tell you that a best-selling title from a branded author can run upwards of 30% to 40% in digital sales," Tina Jordan of the Association of American Publishers told USA Today.
But while eBooks take off, there are some shops out there that are still making real honest-to-goodness books.
Smith Settle, founded in 1981, is one of those shops that still prints and binds books in the traditional style in its Leeds, England.
Below is a beautiful video, produced by London documentarian Glenn Milner, that shows the shop binding Suzanne St. Albans' Mango and Mimosa.
