At the American Bookbinders Museum in San Francisco, Executive Director Anita Engles walks Adam through the history of the past 200 years of book covers, progressing through the innovations that allowed publishers to add more design and flourish to their books and make them more eyecatching. Plus, Adam gets to try his hand at operating a gold foil embossing machine!
