Description
In 1450, all Europe's books were handcopied and amounted to only a few thousand. By 1500 they were printed, and numbered in their millions. The invention of one man - Johann Gutenberg - had caused a revolution. Printing by movable type was a discovery waiting to happen. This is a fascinating insight into how history remembers him as a visionary, his discovery marking the beginning of the modern world.
