This episode explores the entire process of how books are made, from paper production to binding.

We have a super big topic in this episode.We are going to try and answer the question, How are books made? We start with how paper is made, then, we'll explore how words and images get printed on those sheets. and finally, we'll see how printed pages are bound together to become the books you hold, read, and love.
