Looking through some old trade journals and found a surprising number

I was reading a 1978 issue of 'The Guild of Book Workers' newsletter and it said a full-time binder could hand-sew about 15 books a week. I mean, that's way slower than I would've guessed. Does anyone know if that was a normal pace back then?

Guess they weren't in a hurry back then.

Totally get that. Setting a timer for myself actually helped me stop overthinking and just get moving.
