One of the books being printed is: Banner by the wayside Samuel Hopkins Adams Random house, 1947

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

So I guess they're at Random House's plant.

This is absolutely mind blowing.

[@supitschillbro]

I don't know how I got here, but agreed.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Looks like a dangerous place to work.

How far we’ve come in less than 100 years. Makes you wonder how books will be consumed 100 years from now, if humans haven’t destroyed themselves by then.

I see pallet jacks haven't changed in 80 years. I love seeing these women in their dresses, standing up working for HOURS doing tedious work. Every time someone opens their yap about bringing manufacturing back from China they should watch this. Lintotype machine is awesome, one firm in San Fran (Arion Press) still does books that way, tho I think the hotmetal they're using is lead (low print runs) not copper. This process looks like it uses a ton of copper for each book. Dopeheads would come a knockin' come midnight if this was how we still made books.

This is great! Thank you for sharing. Is there a video demonstrating with such lucidity the modern state of the art of bookmaking?

[@MizzMamaJane]

OSHA would have a heyday with this process nowadays!
