    Stephen Fry did a neat documentary on the origins of the printing press that includes the building of a replica of what the first press might have looked like (nobody knows for sure). It's only an hour long and worth the watch.

    No, it just focuses on the time period of Gutenberg and the folks involved with helping him develop the printing press.
