To remember her grandparents’ lives, Dora decides to write a book, complete with her own illustrations. She then takes it to her friend, Tom, who has a printing press in the basement. We go through the steps of typesetting, proof-reading — even distribution.

This book explains how books were made with an old printing press. An elderly woman writes a book about how her parent's lived, prints the book, then gives away copies of her book to her friends.
