I hope you're right, Nik...

Conceptually speaking, I'm still having trouble seeing the difference between micro-trimming and pressing. Both are hard, if not impossible to detect, both are done in some form during the manufacturing process, and both are used in a manipulative manner in order to bolster the value of the books they're being done to. So other than the stigma, which is really just a matter of perception, I don't see how they're soooo different. Maybe I'm just a little too slow on the uptake.
yeah, you are slow...
Trimming removes part of the book. The book physically has less matter than it did when it was printed. Pressing does nothing if the sort. If you can't see the difference, then there is no reason to discuss it with you, because you just don't want to see
