Binom is incredible, and I just ordered my copy. Looks like Nata workshopped it at Tokyo's Reminders Photography Stronghold, which is often the birthplace of projects with similar characteristics. Their site is worth a look if you are wishing for some unconventional, personal, hand-made works.
Well spotted, Mr T. I remember Nata saying that she'd worked on the dummy books in Tokyo but didn't know about the project. This page gives an idea of just how much work and attention went into hand-making the first edition:
Beautiful as always Gavin. Thank you for taking us to a place I sadly probably won't ever visit and giving us such a wonderful sense of what it was like and introducing us to two amazing projects. I'll choose Binom. Amazing.
Binom is a great choice. I don't remember seeing another photo book with so many special touches and little extras. It really does justice to Nata's evocative story.
For me, it would have to be Artisans of Dartmoor. Dartmoor is within touching distance and your quick flick through showed me more of the place in under two minutes than I've seen in twenty years. I feel the need to do something about that!
It's a special book, for sure, Andy. It's the book from this week's collection that I've returned to most often. Like you, looking through it makes me want to go to Dartmoor.

Hey Gavin,
For me, it would have to be Artisans of Dartmoor. Dartmoor is within touching distance and your quick flick through showed me more of the place in under two minutes than I've seen in twenty years. I feel the need to do something about that!
Thanks for sharing,
Andy
