From Gutenberg to four-color printing, a concise history of how books were made.

This nonfiction survey traces the invention and development of printing from the first moveable-type presses in the 15th century to the sophisticated color processes of later centuries. It explains how early Gothic and Roman type competed, how printers in Mainz, Strassburg, and Italy shaped the craft, and how new methods transformed illustration, typography, and book production.

The book also examines the evolution of color printing, including chromo-lithography, mezzotint and wood-engraving, and the rise of photographic processes like photogravure and collotype. It links technical advances to broader changes in publishing, design, and the spread of printed culture.

Clear, chronological overview of printing’s major milestones and early innovators.

Plain explanations of type design shifts, from Gothic to Roman and Antiqua.

Accessible look at color printing developments, from early color initials to modern techniques.

Insights into how printing technologies shaped books, illustration, and publishing practice.

Ideal for readers of printing history, bibliophiles, designers, and students seeking a compact, reliable overview of how the art and craft of printing evolved.
