The Book Bind

In a small studio in Brooklyn, a group of poets and book lovers - driven by passion - have created and nurtured Ugly Duckling Presse. It's a small publishing house that has remained faithful to print, against all odds. Can it survive in a publishing world gone digital? Saskia de Rothschild explores this community of artists committed to preserving the glorious past of book publishing, and carrying it forward into an uncertain future.
