Just in case anyone cared, this was recorded at a print shop in White Plains, MD called AGS. Upper management made a big deal out of these guys coming and had us clean all the equipment and hang our logo on everything. Pretty funny to see that not a single shot of a logo made it on the episode.

I pray that paper books never leave the market. Although ebooks save paper and are cheaper, I still love the feeling of actually turning a paper page and reading them with my fingers holding the book. I pray that bookstores and libraries never get demolished. Paper books, FTW!
***** Well I love having a collection to display and stuff, also, e-readers are dependent on batteries and if you lose it it's expensive, if you lose a book you just buy another, way cheaper.

EETechs Textbook costs are mostly about licensing; every image and table has distribution rights and the rights holders need to be paid according to their licensing agreements, which can have expiration dates, fees per book, or fees per printing. On top of that, because a school or professor will require a specific textbook, there is no competition. With a veritable monopoly, publishers can charge significant markup.
as a former employee of a book making company. i remember those machines all too well. then the economy got bad and it closed but i miss it. we used to put all kinds of books together. but we called that machine she called the guillotine a trimmer and we stacked them different.
I did this by hand in a high school course. We did manual guillotine cutting, held down the stack with a large vise, and dipped our hands in glue to apply it to the side. Since it's not really necessary anymore, it's just interesting knowledge and 2 stacks of notepads I have left.
I had 49 years in the print finishing trade, very stressfull work.Usually the managers of print factories dont know much about the shop floor problems, or care, its all down to get the job out to the customer ASAP.
I am writing a Novel at the minute and wanted to know how books are bound, and didn't realize that I had my volume up. It's pretty late and woke everyone up with "BOOK BINDING".
"The 16th century saw the arrival of cheaper, printed, books with simple pasteboard bindings." Way to downplay one of the most momentous inventions in the history of mankind
Came here to see if it's BS or not. I work in a factory that makes books and that's exactly how are made. The first machine is used for small tiny "books" usually made for advertisement or instructions for a product. But I mostly work on the second machine, I feed the machine with signatures (stacks of pages, we must be careful because the machine doesn't recognize if the pages are in correct order).
On the guillotine, the operator uses a foot pedal to bring down the press and then pushes a button with each hand to bring down the blade. His hands were safe.
I only came here because the thought of how textbooks were made popped into my head while studying Organic Chem wondering how all this info in my text book was printed 😂 what a distraction 😅
that type of industrial machine (hydraulic presses) is usually is protected, probably there's a sensor that stops the machine if there's something inside the moving part zone.
@Sciencebox2010 It's a lot less dangerous than it looks... the first bar that comes down is the clamp to stop the paper from shifting, and it's non-serrated so it wouldn't cut you, nor would it crush your hand either because it is likely sensor or operator driven. The blade only comes down when the technician stands back and his hands are well clear... it's most likely operated by foot pedal. It just looks very fluid and automated because he's probably done it thousands of times.
Not sure where you're from but here in America we pronounce it like she did. It's not about being ignorant it's just the way we pronounce it and it wouldn't sound good any other way. It's just like Americas pronounce Adidas a certain way. Nothing to get offended about.
I miss running buckle folders... and presses... and cutters and stitchers and all things printing lol..... I haven't printed a sheet in over 20 years but I guarantee I'd walk back into the trade like it's just been a 4 day weekend
What about before all that? Do they have to retype every word of the manuscript again and again to make the pages? What about before e computers/ Especially with illustrations....
@weaver2109 There's a foot pedal that he has to reach and then push down for the guillotine to work, so it's not as bad as you think. It's not like he only have a few seconds to do the job before it comes down. lol. He control when it does.
books from my school use perfect bindings and it really irritating after about 3 months the pages inside the books starts to ripping of each time i turn the pages.
@Sciencebox2010 You know those guillotines have laser sensors which cut the machine out if you get anywhere near the blade as it trims, and there are 2 buttons which are both underneath the bench that have to be pushed together and held to activate the blade...so it's literally impossible for your hands to be near it as it trims :) it's safer than a working in a kitchen.
i was sitting on the toilet when I had the sudden desire to know how books are made. so when i was done I went on youtube, searched it up, and watched this video. thanks. lol.

Sometimes the "three knife trimmer" thing doesn't work properly i guess..coz i still get books that are attached...but i suppose its just alignment issues...
Omg WHY! Btw did you notice Papyrus and sans are brothers. Papyrus is a type of paper, and sans is a font. Sans belongs on Papyrus (or other paper) ILLUMI-NITED CONFIRMED
we went to see one on a school trip last year, the machine has a sensor, so it wont cut ur fingers off :P it stops automatically if something crosses the sensor

Read Fahrenheit 451 ;)
Watches "How It's Made Books", learns how magazines are made.
Erik Lauri Kulo well this is how paperbacks are made anyway
SleepyPanda only kind of. I have made a book by hand and it takes a lot more than that.
PinkFreud my paperback ain't got no staples
@@CourtneyMeyer81094 how long dio that take? You should make a video about it.

Shows making a throw-away junk/ad magazine.

LMAO
It's the same method

Am i the only here who imagined how if my hand were on that machine?
how what?
Jeje Ivanovsky I was fing afraid for the guy. Workers' comp2daMAX
That would be a great story.
Those machines have a safety guard where you need to press 2 buttons, one for each hand at about shoulder width apart before the machine will cut
I like anbjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
Now I just need to know how they can justify $200+ for a college textbook.............

+Baltasar Jimenez A LOT of the problem with textbook pricing: they don't print very many, and they're huge.

Missy Lucky muller martini machines if I remember correctly.
She said guillotine wrong
They're actually magazines
Yes your right, they need to change their title!

"The staples are cut from steel wire that's so strong, you have to tear the book apart to remove them". How about just a staple remover?
That's what they mean. If you clamp a staple remover over those staples, it rips up the pages as you remove them.

First "book" looks like a junk mail catalog. Second book is a paperback. Where is vid showing a real hard cover book being made?
its still in the making :O
Go watch How Its Made: Season 15 episode 4: Traditional Bookbinding.
I could honestly fall asleep to this, the machines are so relaxing
Very Interesting Video Thank You for sharing!
Oh. It's one those voiced by that woman who sounds like a cross between a stoned Dalek and the dad from Eraserhead.

Its like no one has ever said guillotine around her...
If you pronounce it like that you are ignorant. Its a word borrowed from french and is pronounced as such. We dont say " The Home Dee Pot" do we?
+twothousandcookies its like people who say "ver SAILS" for "versailles"
This narrator gets the most scrutiny because of her infamous voice and pronunciations.
Not sure where you're from but here in America we pronounce it like she did. It's not about being ignorant it's just the way we pronounce it and it wouldn't sound good any other way. It's just like Americas pronounce Adidas a certain way. Nothing to get offended about.
is it possible to make a home made book with a staple in the folded line? like in comic books

i have so many books glues way and they tear pages when i turn a page
احب هذه المصانع واحب المجلات الفنية ايضا ..ياريت فديو اخر يوضح كيف تصنع الدفاتر والوازم المدرسية .شكرا
Literally only watched this for sort of ideas on how to bind my book series
Thanks. I used this for my class.
The cut is so satisfying
Amazing process.
Thanks you for the lesson !
What episode number is this?! What season?!
What about before all that? Do they have to retype every word of the manuscript again and again to make the pages? What about before e computers/ Especially with illustrations....
What about hard cover books?
What about huge books like text books and regular reading books?

Amaizing!
2:30-2:40 CRAZY SLO-MO Stapling ACTION!
beautiful..
@weaver2109 I had that job as a tween and teen. It doesn't cut until you push a button with your foot. I still have all ten fingers.
i was sitting on the toilet when I had the sudden desire to know how books are made. so when i was done I went on youtube, searched it up, and watched this video. thanks. lol.
@fathuwalallaaa It's a canadian accent. Don't worry about it.

damn
the consonates in that first sentence
I'll go back to binding my own books thanks... no glued or stapled spines for my notebooks and sketchbooks

It depends on the type of textbook. All of the textbooks I currently used aren't bound like this.
@DKWorldCom thats the reason why i checked this vid out. I was wondering how my copy of Harry Potter came into place. :D :D
Look at that staple action
@sTyLnK i think he has to push 2 buttons, 1 with each hand to make the gillotine operate, so it is 100% sure that he has no hand under there
Holy crap! It's Robot!! Mom and I hear her all the time on TV!!
Imagine if just one of those pages got out of place
What about Hardcover??
@zoomerlawns Sounds like you need one.
That voice makes me laugh! XD
I have operated all of these machines except the guillotine. Some days I really miss it.
the music, so so sensual
CNC guillotines are very safe machines. They are designed so that the blade ram will not operate if your arms are sitting over or on the table.
Sometimes the "three knife trimmer" thing doesn't work properly i guess..coz i still get books that are attached...but i suppose its just alignment issues...
I like how she says "process."

Go Go Gadget, book binder!
XD. I've tried this. You need to push two buttons at the same time to make the cut. It´s fairly safe.
Wow that's how paper is made oh
you are an awesome person, i now bow b4 u :)
that new book smell. oh sweet jebus :D
take a shot everytime she says "slow motion"
I made it to one min now i feel woozy
They should make a book on that!!!
how many trees?
Now I know why sometimes I get books with pages still sticking together... the 3-side cutter thing must have missed it.
most guillotines have a foot pedal and 1/2 buttons to push as a safety mechanism.
normally 2 so you have both your hands out of the machine.
@weaver2109 Me neither - that's an accident waiting to happen
Books taught me more English than all of my English teachers combined.
nice
hahahaha this helped me on my homework. :P
we went to see one on a school trip last year, the machine has a sensor, so it wont cut ur fingers off :P it stops automatically if something crosses the sensor
is this episode in 2003?
2:25 Ohhhh Damn that stapling action... *drools* ffffffff i just came...
Wut
LOL Ikr just the way she said that
Damn girl, you crazy
I love the woman at the start, her voice is so funny
i love books sooooooooooooooooooooo mutch
WE (BPS Publications) book makers would like to know more details and price of this machine. regards.
@kikihappy54 no it isnt... there are many ways of saying many different words
...oherwise a good video
