A collection of Singapore's fading traditional trades and crafts

I’ll keep going as long as I can–these words reflect the heartfelt wishes of craftsmen to prolong their traditional crafts, just as the design team hopes to bring back the joy of reading physical books. The book not only records 28 traditional crafts that have disappeared or will disappear in the next 20 years for future designers to explore and contribute to the craft landscape but also examines book design as a vanishing form of craft. The making of the book explores the fusion of traditional book forms with new technologies and adds interest through unusual structures and visual stimuli.
