This series of YouTube videos are of a BBC broadcast by Stephen Fry. The
piece is entitled "The Machine That Made Us" and chronicles a complete
recreation of the type, ink, paper and press that Gutenberg likely used to
print his famous 42 line Bible...a great historical piece and a fascinating
look at the whole process of early letterpress and its influence on the
world. Each part is approximately 10 minutes long..
