Germany 1930's Hands place a bundle of papers between two card slabs, and apply glue to the paper's edges with a brush, before sanding the edges. More glue is applied to the edges, the slabs are removed, and the papers hit against a desk to straighten them. The papers are slid into a large ornate guillotine, and the edges of the papers are sliced off. Intertitle: "Das Kundklopfen." Papers placed on a large flat surface, and the spine of the paper is hammered with a large mallet until it is curved. The paper is placed between two large wooden slabs, and placed inside a press or vice. The spine of the paper is hammered. Glue is applied to the spine, then wiped down, as a curved piece of card is placed onto it and more glue is spread. Ribbon is placed on the edge of the spine and cut to size. Intertitle: "Die Einbanddecken." Several slips of card are glued together and bend with a small tool, then two large pieces of card are measures and placed carefully on either side, forming the hardcover for the book. A fabric is placed on the hardcover's spine, then shaped and trimmed down. The hardcover is further shaped and flexed, until the paper is glued inside and pressed between two wooden blocks.

The front and back pages of the book are glued to the covers. The book is placed in the press again. The book is removed and handled.
