original description

This tour of Arion Press in San Francisco showcases one of the last traditional book-making facilities in the country where all the processes take place under one roof: the hot metal type foundry, letterpress printing facility, and hand bookbinding studio. Originally featured on the A&E Open Book program, this tour features the Arion Press Folio Bible, probably the last Bible to be printed from metal type in the tradition of Gutenberg. 9.39 min.
