Leaf Book Video - abridged version (corrected)

A discussion of our own publication, Letters from the 15th Century: On the Origins of the Kelmscott Chaucer Typeface. In abbreviated form, Phil introduces the book and describes how the project came to be. He shows us the book and the five leaves it includes and describes the various versions of the edition available for purchase.

Please keep making these videos! I'm just now getting into collecting old dictionaries, on account of the internet's changing the definitions of words and I can now prove it. I have been binge watching your videos LOL, I'm going to buy the oldest dictionaries I can afford and your videos are helping me out.

Do you have proof?

If you look at those old dictionaries, you’ll see that the definitions of words have been changing long before the internet

I like the idea of the leaves being by different printers. Very cool! Did you say that you originally divided up the Kelmscott Chaucer that you got in 2012? How did you decide to not sell it as a whole and rather to sell leaves? I'm sure that is a controversial question to even ask but I'd love to hear.
