Book Printing Through the MillenniumWritten by Paul Hood
Continued from page 1
Of all events that transpired having an impact on printed book, none have greater effect than invention of movable type. This process has been used by Chinese as early as 1041 and in 1403, earliest book was printed in Korea. Though similar in process, Johann Gutenberg’s invention would have a far greater contribution to printed book as his movable type was able to print many copies of same text quickly. Something Chinese and Korean types failed to do. Gutenberg’s pioneering invention paved way for later innovations and would serve as spark for success of future printers and publishers. Today, printers can churn out thousands of books in record time. The invention of advanced printers capable of printing thousands of pages in a minute has made this a reality. Due credit is given to pioneering spirit of early civilizations and of course Johann Gutenberg for making mass production of printed book a possibility. This rich history has given us modern people comfort of having books readily available.
