This book is an introduction to the life and work of Johannes Gutenberg, the man who invented the printing press.Gutenberg has been called the “Man of the Millennium” by Time-Life Magazine and others. In the mid-15th century he developed the first practical system for making movable type. His invention allowed books to be mass produced for the first time in history.This book contains a wealth of information about Gutenberg and his invention. It has many fascinating photographs and illustrations, including a simplified schematic that shows how Gutenberg made his movable metal type.Today we take books for granted. But before Gutenberg's printing press, books were a luxury only the wealthy could afford. Gutenberg’s invention changed our world forever. The ability to reproduce books efficiently and economically launched humanity into a new age of information, education and enlightenment for the masses. This is the story of a remarkable man and his magnificent machine.
