More information about Final Jeopardy:

William Caxton is known today as the first British printer, setting up his own printing press in London in 1476. One of his first books was the first printed edition of Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. A second edition, with woodcut illustrations, was published in 1483.

You can find more information about Caxton’s editions at the British Library.

I’m sure that a number of viewers who look at Clue of The Day were surprised by this. Of course, “Penelope Cruz” in the “My Country (Of Birth)” category was a clue in the Jeopardy! round.
