OT: The Book Makers, and other documentaries

The recent documentary 'The Booksellers' was a really entertaining piece of work. I figured I'd surface the upcoming documentary 'The Book Makers' here, along with another recent movie covering letterpress printing that I've not seen noted here.

http://www.letterpressfilm.com/ - This seemed to be focused on printers & type casters in the Midwest US area generally. One of the really fascinating bits was a type caster who had integrated his monotype caster with a Mac. Looking into this a little more, I've seen on youtube that a few type foundries have done this - but still totally fascinating to see these old machines integrated with modern technology. Not highly technical, but absolutely worth a watch.

^ Thank you. The Booksellers was ok (even if only to learn there are human leather books..).

I guess the first one is not out yet? I snatched the Letterpress Film - I'll try and watch tonight.

Thanks a lot for sharing the links and purchased the Letterpress Film.I do hope more documentaries are made on this subject.

'The Book Makers' documentary is now streaming for free on PBS in case people are interested in watching it: https://www.pbs.org/video/the-book-makers-bzy8li/

Thank you so much for for posting the link to this excellent film. I see why artist books can be so expensive. Book artists need to be patronised so that they can keep producing these wonderful artworks.
