Download Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History AudioBook Free
Because the Gutenberg Bible first continued sale in 1455, printing has been viewed as one of the best achievements of human being innovation. But the march of improvement hasn't been clean; downright bizarre is more like it. Printer's Problem chronicles some of the strangest & most humorous episodes in the annals of European printing. Take, for example, the Gutenberg Bible. As the book is regarded as the first printed work in the Western world, Gutenberg's name doesn't appear anywhere onto it. Today, Johannes Gutenberg is regarded as the father of European printing. But for the first few century after the invention of the printing press, nobody knew who printed the first e book. This long-standing mystery took research workers down a labyrinth of old archives and libraries, and unearthed unexpected details, such as the fact that Gutenberg's financier sued him, repossessed his printing equipment, and started his own printing business afterward. Like the works of Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman, and Ken Jennings, Printer's Problem is a rollicking drive through the annals of your energy and the printed expression.
