This starts with Letterpress typesetting the same way I do it - women have done that part of the work since Gutenbergs time. That forme of type with all the pages on it would weigh a LOT. The press they use is the oldest kind - used to take immense strength to operate those presses - so that was a mans job. The pressmen would have one arm much larger than the other, like galley rowers, because of pulling those levers! When it comes to the book making, I have the tools and capability to do most of this on a smaller scale. I just never seem to have the time. Someday....
