“When we bound these books, I thought, they were identical. But I realised they couldn’t stay that way. As soon as someone cracks the spine, a book develops a character all its own.

Each book, once read, I realised, will have told a slightly different story.”
― Pip Williams, The Bookbinder of Jericho
