Most of these resources were compiled by Courtney Jacobs, Special Collections librarian at UNT. Courtney recommends that you watch two of the videos below before we meet on 10/4: "From Punch to Printing Type" and "The Anatomy of the Book, Pt. 1." This later is particularly useful for illustrating the discussion of format in Greetham.
