Someone on a Toronto community mentioned that they were trying to find a book binder. And my first reaction was "What? WTF? How does that work?" And then I was, like, "oh, silly me."

Were you thinking like foot binding, or like breast binding, or like a 3-ring binder, or...?

I immediately though of breast binders. Made out of books. Or maybe breast binders for books.

See, being a librarian, I immediately thought of "a bindery in which books are bound" ;> "Free all bound periodicals!"

I can do Coptic binding.
