Actually, it might be the rise of craft markets and pop-up shops. Artists need their books to look good on display, and exposed binding shows off the workmanship. That visual appeal could be driving the requests.

That makes a lot of sense about the visual appeal. But I'm curious, does the exposed binding hold up better when people are flipping through them at markets? I've seen some books fall apart after a few shows. Maybe artists are thinking about both looks and function. What do you think, is there a trade off between style and strength?
