Is it a novel or a kettle bell?

Presenting a novel that could be used to do shoulder presses: The Traymore Rooms by Norm Sibum, coming this July from Biblioasis.

We're binding galleys today and my paper cut count is up to five.

At least I'm getting in a bit of an arm workout in the process.

Who needs weights when you've got a book this massive?

Left, 6 galleys of David Mason's The Pope's Bookbinder (a pretty lengthy book on its own). Right, one gigantic copy of Norm Sibum's The Traymore Rooms. The result? A paper cut ratio fast approaching 1:1.
