In this episode of Book Making as an Art Form: Exploring the Boundaries, I sit down with Eleonoor Jap Sam, founder of Jap Sam Books a publishing house where books are treated as slow, living objects.With over two decades of experience, Eleonoor shares her reflections on:• Curiosity as the heart of being• The invisible care behind every book• Sustainability, budgets, and creative freedom• Balancing leadership, motherhood, and legacyIt's a gentle conversation about what it means to publish with care, stay generous in the process, and see each book as a carrier of knowledge, ideas, and inspiration.
