Although he is credited with changing history through his invention of printing, Johann Gutenberg remains mysterious. In Fine Print, author Joann Johansen Burch pieces together Gutenberg's amazing story. When Johann was a child in the early 1400s, books were rare and sometimes very expensive. Each book had to be copied by hand, letter by letter. Gutenberg loved to read, and he often grew impatient waiting for the time-consuming bookmaking process to be completed. Young Gutenberg dreamed of finding a better way to make books. From his childhood in strife-torn Mainz through the many years of setbacks and bankruptcies, Gutenberg persevered in his belief that books could be made quickly and inexpensively. This is the story of the man who invented movable type and the printing press and gave the world the gift of books.

Can one invention really change the world? Before the mid-fifteenth century, books were printed by hand, making them rare and expensive. Reading and learning remained a privilege of the wealthy—until Johannes Gutenberg developed a machine called the printing press. Gutenberg, a German metalworker, began in the 1440s by making movable type—small metal letters that were arranged to form words and sentences, replacing handwritten letters. Movable type fit into frames on the printing press, and the press then produced many copies of the same page. As movable type and the printing press made book production much faster and less expensive, reading material of all kinds became available to a far wider audience. In Gutenberg’s time, Europe was already on the brink of a new age—an explosion of world exploration, scientific discoveries, and political and religious changes. Gutenberg’s printing press helped propel Europe into the modern era, and his legacy remains in the thousands of books and newspapers printed each year to keep us informed, entertained, and connected. Indeed, Gutenberg’s development of the printing press became one of history’s pivotal moments.

THE best and most critical account of the History of Printing with movable type. Every document connected with the History of the Invention of Printing has been verified by the energetic and intelligent author. The mystery still remains — who was the inventor of Printing? That Gutenberg was an early printer Mr. Hessels fully admits. Only 200 copies were originally printed for sale. Mr. J. H. Hessels, the translator of Van der Linde's "Coster Legend," commenced a series of articles about two years ago in the London Printing Times, under the title of "Gutenberg: Was He the Inventor of Printing?" being a review of a more recent work by the same author entitled "Gutenberg." The articles came to a sudden termination, the writer finding it necessary to consult various documents abroad in order to arrive at certain facts. The long silence which intervened has at, last been broken by the appearance of a handsome volume, now before us, in which Mr. Hessels has endeavoured to clear up the mystery so long surrounding the identity of the first printer — and in order to this he paid two visits to Paris and spent seven weeks in Germany exploring the libraries and archives of Strassburg, Mentz, and other prominent cities. While it is impossible to resuscitate the corpse of the mythical Holland proto-typographer Coster, the result of Mr. Hessels' researches do not justify him in giving Gutenberg the credit of inventing the art, but only establishing the fact of his being a printer — and he regrets that after all his labours be must leave the quest on which he started yet unsolved, summarizing the result of his investigation in the following statement :"As early as (Nov. 16) 1454 two printers were at work at Mentz; the name of one of them may have been Johann Gutenberg; (perhaps subsidized by Johann Fust), but it is not stated anywhere; the name of the other is, in all probability, Peter (Schoeffer) de Gernssheym. That the latter did not consider himself to have been the first, or even the chief, printer (of Mentz), seems sufficiently clear from what we may call his own statement, in the imprint of the Justinianus of 24 May, 1468, in which he speaks of two Johannes. One of these Johannes must have been Johann Fust; who was the other? Everybody says Gutenberg, and I am in no position to contradict it." * * * * * "A very complete account is given of several books from the press of the Brothers of Common Life, not heretofore described; and a photograph of a page of an Eltville book, the type of which has never been before noticed. "Mr. Hessels' volume is one of great value to whoever may hereafter follow in his wake, and a real acquisition to the history of printing. The work is elegantly produced by Bernard Quaritch, consisting of xxvii, 201 pages, octavo, printed on hand-made paper, Roxburghe binding—only 200 copies printed for sale." —The Quadrat, Pittsburgh, U.S.A., June, 1882. * * * * * "Everyone interested in the early history of printing must read Mr. Hessels' book itself. It is both destructive and constructive: much of the ground upon which the claim for Gutenberg was raised, is cleared away, but still nothing is discovered that actually destroys that claim. In his work of destruction Mr. Hessels has constructed a solid foundation of bibliographical fact for others to follow up by further researches." —The Bibliographer, August, 1882.

Upon its invention in the mid-1400s, the printing press instantly became a revolutionary device. It introduced literacy to the masses and led Europe out of the Middle Ages. This book explores the press' exciting history, the social and political conditions in place at the time Johannes Gutenberg invented it, and the changes the invention wrought afterward. It traces the evolution of moveable type and information dissemination up to modern electronic communications technology, examining the positive and negative effects of these developments, both in the past and on democracy and humankind today. This book will give readers a new appreciation for the written word, whether it is printed on paper or displayed on a screen.

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. Born in 1400 in Mainz, Germany, Gutenberg struggled against a background of plague and religious upheaval to bring his remarkable invention to light. His story is full of paradox: his ambition was to reunite all Christendom, but his invention shattered it; he aimed to make a fortune, but was cruelly denied the fruits of his life's work. Yet history remembers him as a visionary; his discovery marks the beginning of the modern world.
