The author begins with the initial invention of woodblock printing in China, and then moves to Europe to follow the story of the men credited with creating the first printing press and movable type. The author also documents where and when printing presses were set up in the major European cities, as well as tracking the introduction of printing into England. Through this meticulous research, the author explores the evolution of print technology and the profound impact it had on communication, commerce, and education during the medieval period, opening up the world of books and the spread of knowledge far beyond the confines of monasteries and universities.
