A Printer鈥檚 Printer: 抖荫短视频 Excels at GraphEx Awards
Most people don鈥檛 think much about the details of a printed piece unless there鈥檚 something wrong with it. They don鈥檛 think about a book鈥檚 binding unless it鈥檚 falling apart.

What Makes Books Smell Like That?
鈥淎ll my genius is in my nostrils.鈥� – Friedrich Nietzche Are you a book-sniffer? I am, along with many, many others. We can sometimes be seen in a bookstore or library, surreptitiously bending down to inhale the scent of pages. If a fellow book-sniffer sees us, they get it. IYKYK. Book-sniffing memes abound, and you […]
