[Hum-DIS] calling all Gutenberg/History of the Book fans

[Kerry Smith]

Dear all

 

A fellow student passed this onto me to share with you:

<http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/machine-that-made-us/> 

Watched this great documentary on the History channel last night it was
called the machine that made us and was hosted by Stephen Fry (Top
Gear).

surprisingly considering his background it was about the Gutenburg Press
and he went as far as to find someone who has built one, make the
movable type pieces and create paper from scratch with linen and print
onto it.

Seems it was a once off on foxtel but this link says you can watch it
free online, its broken into 6 parts unfortunately but says its the full
doco.

thought some might like to see it too
