Comments: Old School Moveable Type

Matt,
That's pretty darn cool. Reminds me of my old school newspaper days -- not as old as setting movable type by hand, but old enough to use big typesetting computers (with horrible text editors that generated columns of text), printing out columns, waxing the columns, and hand cut-and-pasting up pages of a newspaper. Of course, all of that is now done on a computer screen. But I swear that experience of physically having to layout a page has helped me with all of my design projects.

Matt, I was thinking of doing an old-fashioned, hand-set type version of Diderot's Encyclopedie. Interested?
