Great exhibits about the history of bookbinding
This is a relatively small but very well organized museum, with clear exhibits and a nice collection of old bookbinding machines and tools. Definitely recommend for anyone with an interest in books and the ways they have been made.

Great couple of hours at the American Bookbinding Musuem
Spent a great couple of hours at this small museum. I now know 100 times more about bookbinding than I did previously. Very interesting exhibits and audio tour. Also several hands on stations at the end of the tour where you can try some of the elements of bookbinding for yourself.
