The Crumpled Press based in New York is taking the publishing world back to its roots by producing hand-sewn books. Not only that, but their paper is made with wind energy and is recyclable.
Here's a quote from editor and founder Jordan McIntyre:
"With the advent of digital publishing, a lot of people ask me if I’m
opposed [to it], thinking as a publisher I’m obsessed with the book as
object. My answer is no. If you want to read a throwaway paperback that
you may forget about, then read it on a Kindle. If you want something in
your collection to last, if you love it, then it should be bound in a
more caring manner."
