I made a 12,000 page bookbinding abomination

✨ Check out @DanielGreeneReviews

One book just isn't enough - so I decided to rebind all the 14 books in the Wheel of Time series into one huge bookbinding abomination, with a total of 12.000 pages.

I'm a book restorer, and I can already tell you that some other book restorer will get this book in 200 years and be like: wtf.... how am I supposed to fix this
😂❤

Y'know if you bound the very first and last pages, skipping the covers all together, you could have yourself The Wheel of the Wheel of Time.

-"I know the exact book."

She's like "Omg look at this dumb thing I made" and it's the most masterfully crafted beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Imagine losing your page in this book☠️

I'm a professionnal bookbinder who graduated from école Estienne and I must say this is some great stuff, I can't wait for this monstrosity to be seen in a few decades or centuries in a rare book fair. Us bookbinders love funky shapes and systems. This is for sure a great fit. I'm pretty sure we all asked ourselves at some point "what if the text block was much wider than the spine is long ?" and this is a perfect example.
Also this act of binding together multiple books is not new, it's called Sammelband (and other names but this one will work for an international comment on a youtube video) and has great historical interest as it allows us to define reading practices of the owner of the books who comissioned a bookbinder to bind them specifically together. It means it had meaning for the owner !
Great job, in so many crafts, you are an inspiration !

You can use sandpaper to even out the edges of the books so that the pages match perfectly. It's a trick we use in libraries to get rid of stains on the edges of paper but it also evens out the page edges.

ive never heard of wheel of time but this dedication for a book series REALLY makes me want to check it out

[morganqorishchi]

I love even the cameraman having to stop and laugh at this. That's when you know your art is doing its' job: it's bringing you joy, him joy, the viewers joy, the gift recipient joy - you're basically like Santa but with books.

I laughed so hard at the very end when Martina is calmly reading a page while holding up 20 kilos of book in one hand.

Brandon Sanderson immediately sending this to his publisher to expand his word count for his next book 😂

Mom: You can only bring one book on the trip.

i'm so glad youtube algorithm is pushing you guys' videos cause these are one of the most INSANE projects i've seen, and the end results are always so sick!!

keep it up y'all

[TheStevesterX]

Am I the only one who thinks that Martina's at her best, and funniest, when she takes on projects that immediately makes her regret her life choices? 🤣

i love the fantasy/historical side of youtube cause it takes extremely noble and traditionnal techniques to make the ✨silliest✨ things, while still being some of the coolest things we'll ever see. incredible!

Okay I legit started having a deep emotional reaction when you started carving the leather design. This book series means A LOT to me as it was the series that reignited my love of reading in high school when Literature classes and book analysis papers had really spoiled the JOY of reading for me. The love you are show for this project just hits me RIGHT in the feels.

I've been staring at this in Daniel's videos for a while now, but I had no idea you made it! This is NUTS! It looks SO freakin' good, and seeing all the work you put into it, WOW!
