Silverhand Books

Handbound books and journals

Books seem to me to be pestilent things, and infect all who trade in them... Printers, Binders, Sellers and others that make a trade and gain out of them have universally so odd a turn and corruption of mind that they have a way of dealing peculiar to themselves, and not conformed to the good of society, and that general fairness that cements man kind.
