Thanks Frank - great video. Yes, the Encyclopedias are history. I still have some in my book shelf but never use them anymore. All because the encyclopedias died, people assume bound books are a goners. Just the opposite is true. Physical books are on the increase, all thanks to digital printing and clever, bar-coded bindery equipment. Wish you would go to one of this "one Book at a time"digital printing/binding facilities and share your observation. Bridgeport National near Springfield, MA would be a good start. In the 1990's, they started with a DocuTech and now have all the latest digital printing equipment.
