Book Reviews of Johann Gutenberg and the Amazing Printing Press
Book Review: great job!
Summary: 5 Stars
Book in great condition, service prompt! Faultless interaction, I'm very pleased to give a positive review. American excellence, as I remember it, but seldom encounter.
BRAVO!
I ordered the book, to use as a research tool for a short story I was writing.
Enough information, without being a burden. The framework of true facts,to which I then provided a fictional dialog, between Mr. Gutenberg and an uncle, concerning
a cash loan, to finish his invention. To me, the printing press has personal meaning,
it gave the writer a much larger outlet for his thoughts, and the spreading of ideas
over a much larger audience. It hurried- up the development of the world, like no invention previous. Second only to the wheel, from an overview.
Summary of Johann Gutenberg and the Amazing Printing Press
If a book was published 600 years ago, it would have been copied out by hand by a scribe in a monastery and probably would have taken months to produce. But thanks to Johann Gutenberg in the fifteenth century, modern printing was born and nowadays it can take only a few seconds to print a book. Gutenberg invented the printing press as well as a new type of ink and a new way to cast type.
