Colonial Bookbinder

Being a bookbinder is tough!

You have to carefully fold the page, then you have to make the cover, then you have to bind the book cover to the pages, then grab a  HAMMER and hit the cover to the pages so it stays flat, and close to the book. But on the bright side of things, I sold a book to a wealthy young man! For 23$! The one he got was a nice leather covered one. It’s always a back-breaking day for me, but making the book’s are worth it all! You may end up getting the money i got! Today was payday, and i got 16$ full dollars! Add 23$ and 16$ together, it’s 39$ full dollars! I got a-lot of money for working hard. So, me working hard and basically breaking my back, was all worth it! The next day may be even harder than last, but the thing is you need a-lot of patience to have this job, patience and creativity, because of what i said before, you have to carefully fold the pages, make the cover, bind them together, then grab a hammer and hit the cover against the pages so it stays flat. It’s the next day at work, more back-breaking than the last as i said, I sold a book this time to a not wealthy, but poor man, he gave me 10$ witch isn’t a lot at all! Not compared to the wealthy young man. I don’t have much money, i need to start making better books to attract the wealthy. It’s been a few days after, and i made at least 2 leather books! I’m working on my 3rd one right now.

*Now, being myself, a 11 year old, you can see, being a bookbinder wasn’t easy.. they had lots of work to do, making money, and making the books, it was really hard for them, espically with the fact that they don’t get payed much by their boss.*
