[BKARTS] online bookbinding video

[Kevin Driedger <ksdriedger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think this has been mentioned on the list, but pardon the 
duplication if it has.

I was playing around with Yahoo's video searching and happened across this 
fun bookbinding video originally part of the "Americans At Work" series by 
the AFL-CIO. It shows the operations of a trade/library bindery of the time, 
with that wonderful dramatic narration used in many of those old educational 
videos. Some of the interesting parts were marbling the book edges, the 
rotating guillotine, and the incredibly bored women doing incredibly boring 
work. It runs over 13 minutes, so depending on the quality you want, it can 
be a big file.
