Sometimes I’m looking for something online - often “how to” articles - and I want to filter for - like - a website that was clearly built in 2010 at the latest, which may or may not have been updated since then, but contains a vast wealth of information on one topic, painstakingly organized by an unknown legend in the field with decades’ worth of experience. I don’t want a listicle with a nice stolen picture in a slideshow format written by a content aggregator that God forgot. I want hand-drawn diagrams by some genius professor who doesn’t understand SEO at all, but understands making stir-fries or raising stick insects better than anyone else on this earth. I don’t know what search settings to put into Google to get this.

VICTORIAN PUBLISHER’S BINDINGS

Advances in printing technology and the development of cloth covers made it possible for Victorian book publishers to issue limited editions of popular titles with ornate cover decoration. The elaborate designs were mechanically stamped on colored fabric and the lettering often embossed and gilded. Packaged in a velvet-lined slip cover, these gift books were intended more for display than actual perusal. For daily reading materials, Victorians of all classes borrowed books from private lending libraries.
