There's a part of me that can't leave the workflow of a view camera alone. 8x10 captivated me in graduate school and since welcomed 11x14 into the fray. However, I feel like I'm leaving good pictures behind due to the sheer size of the cameras. I accept the size as it quenches that thirst for view camera but I also accept it's downsides.

For the last few years my landing spot for work has left the walls and entered the book realm. I have a passion for the craft that goes into a well made, hand sewn book and the feeling of a good design.

For those working in books, did you find yourself changing your tools? Moving to a small format? The final destination of the work is so small to begin with that I feel that even 4x5 scans seem to be overkill.

I just wanted to pick your brains.
