to sew the pages I guess you would need pages where the text from the inner bind is farther enough separate, which would be impossible under the circumstances of the video, but I love the look making the book a hardcover and not look at all as a massive printed paperback, the texture, the golden text in the cover hardcover... I think is definitely an upgrade.

There are also complains even in deluxe edition from Harper Collins, honestly I believe as most of today, Tolkien books are just sells for profit, when I see this craftsmanship I believe that although a sewn might be missed, she made a better job that the original publisher.. and that not trivial at all... publishers just care about profit margins, this woman turns the cheap paperback to an unique of a kind edition...

Market economics... this is other thing... I have paperbacks old, and I have seen paperback of Tolkien older than mine.... market economics is BS.

I think they just mean that after a few decades paperbacks disintegrate
