Frank Romano’s History of Printing in 15 Minutes is a video clip with an interesting presentation style. Romano is digitally inserted into static images of historical scenes.
I learned some things though not quite enough. I wish he gave a year for each invention. For the creation of paper I wonder why he's in Italy instead of China. He doesn't say what Italy brought to the process (or was it just that this was the first use in Europe?) or what goes into the paper (like trees) or how its so different from papyrus (woven vs molded?).
