“Making 100 books by hand. Three people spent two days in a garage in Hamilton, New Zealand cutting, folding and sewing an edition of 100 books. The book is called Moves Afoot, by Megan Lyon; published by the Waikato Society of Arts (2009); designed by Alan Deare, with Meliors Simms. Meliors, Alan and Katie Pervan were the book binders. Meliors and Alan took the still photos for this film which was produced and edited by Meliors.”
