Making a Book

[_ocelott_]

We get a lot of people these days who wax nostalgic about the way books used to be sold, printed, published, etc. Some of this is backlash against the popularity of e-books, and some is just... well, there's always going to be fond memories of the way things were done in the past. Nostalgia goggles are powerful things.

So I ran across this video which shows some old footage of how books were made once upon a time, back when printing presses actually involved pressing, and found it rather thought-provoking. Hopefully all of you will, too.
