Really loved this study of early printed books, I have learned a lot from this presentation. Fantastic that a Venetian printer's account book has been preserved and studied, loved that part. Amazing they could print so many books in such a short time.

A video that is a good lesson in History of the Book too. Compliments to Cristina Dondi and all the bibliographic staff!
Never thought, our humble shared office door to 41 Wellington Square would make it into a video!
Launched the Renaissance, the discovery of the "New World" and the modern era we continue.
I like what Henry Woudhuysen said about form influencing content and would love to hear more about that. Anyone..?

WOAH!

It can't be a coincidence that the music was regularly drowned out by someone saying something. Too bad, you should pay more attention next time.
