From Cory Doctorow over at Boing Boing comes this hilarious old video showing “what a pain in the ass it was to produce a book in the era before digital typesetting, lo those many years ago.”
I particularly love the announcer’s voice!
Actually, my old college newspaper, The Daily Dartmouth, was--in 1954--printed in this same laborious manner.

Hot type.
