Wow, that is a shocking level of dedication.
I am both in awe of his commitment and completely baffled as to why
you'd spend 10 years doing that.
It also reminds me what a glorious age we live in, when books are
available for ~$10 each from Amazon.
And watching his Linotype work was pretty awesome too!
Thanks for sending that out!
Best link I've ever seen on this list.
