Theyll find out how Gutenbergs printing press worked, how books had to be copied out by hand before its invention, and what already extant tools helped inspire Gutenberg. The Gutenberg Bibles layout and decoration are discussed, while images of the pages from the book itself impress upon readers the importance of consulting primary sources.

Since its first appearance in 1962, the impact of The Gutenberg Galaxy has been felt around the world.
