New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
A BBC documentary on the Gutenberg press, presented by Stephen Fry.
It's been all over the web, but I don't think it has cropped up here yet -- & it strikes me as something of interest for here. Go watch it on Youtube before it gets removed:

Thank you for posting the YouTube link. Now those outside UK can see it, too. I missed the link in the original thread.

I am ecstatic to present you the links to the whole documentary that I just found. As you know the BBC doesn't give it up for free for non UK residents:
