The art of the manuscript has really fallen. Published books nowadays are not as good as they used to be (in terms of quality, not just content). Most 'crafted' things, really - textiles, books, furniture... everything has been discarded in favor of cheap, low-quality nonsense that breaks or falls apart.

As a crafter, I can't count how many times I've seen decorations for sale in stores and thought, "Wow, they're charging that much for this flimsy thing? It looks like it would rip before it's even taken out of the package. I can make this at home for a fraction of this cost, and out of stronger materials." Seriously, people are getting ripped off big time when all they want is some pretty holiday decor.
