Even when the book content is mine
am ripped apart for the type of spine
why dig down to the vital parts
just accept what others know
look at the contents of the book
rather than nabbing collars by a hook
why lamblaste the binding instead
ahh, but the glory lies in the glory
excel in the critique
berate artistic mystique
the spoils left for competitor's palate
ripped apart for the spine
unaccepted saddle stitch
there are those set standards
up some mysterious stairwell
others know as binder's hell.

Funny I had a talk about such people at an art gallery probably in their 20's learning to make a mark for themselves by jabbing people...and then treated myself to such a dissection afterwards at a book shop across the street. The binder/bookseller enjoyed the 'torment'...as I left she thanked me for having tormented me, she said she enjoyed it...believe it or not

But will I come back for their business? my self respect says it's not necessary. Besides I got a good few tips on how to do the perfect binding myself
