Why you should go…
Housed in a SoMa storefront, the American Bookbinders Museum preserves a working collection of 19th- and 20th-century bookbinding and printing machinery. Docents demonstrate hand and mechanical binding techniques, and visitors can see, and sometimes operate, restored presses and finishing equipment. It's one of the only museums in the country dedicated solely to the bookbinding trade.
