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 tha books could be made quickly and inexpensively. This is the story of the man who invented movable type and printing press and gave the world the gift of books.
