Maureen,
You might check here. I've tried using their search screen and
wasn't able to get a printing plant for books. They do have some
paper plants listed.

Has anyone seen anything in the documentary area, or industrial film
area, that would take us inside a printing plant where books are
manufactured?
The ideal film would show something about paper making, and then,
inside the printing plant, a web press and a sheet fed press,
folding of signatures into pages, gathering of signatures into the
book block, printing the cover or jacket, and gluing or sewing the cover on.
While I'm on the industrial kick here, a similar question: We could
use a film on how digitally driven warehouses work. At the Ingram
and Amazon warehouses, for instance, where millions of titles are
stored, the fork lifts are robots that can pick and pack titles for
bookstores. Our publishing faculty would love to see something like that!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation,
acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current
and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It
is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for
video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
