# Literary Production Videos 'Birth of a Book' Shows the Behind-the-Scenes Creation of Making Books By Kevin Young | Published 2012-03-31 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birth-of-a-book References: [designyoutrust](http://designyoutrust.com/) & [telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/) 'Birth of a Book' is a video that shows how books are made from start to finish. Nowadays, [eBooks and tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebook-generator) have taken over the traditional form of reading and those who carry books are considered "ancient." A good book can make you read for hours on end, but the Birth of a Book video is even more alluring; it demonstrates how books are made and not what the book is about. This is something that doesn't cross one's mind when [picking up a book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-library). Smith-Settle Printers based in Leeds, England, shows how one book titled 'Mango and Mimosa' by Suzanne St Albans is made.
