About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Gutenberg and the Art of Printing by Emily Clemens Pearson. Read in English by LibriVox volunteers. This book is readable account of one of the greatest inventions of modern time: moveable type. Gutenberg's work lays the foundation for the printing press, without which the world would look very different... It reads both as biography and as historical fiction, in addition to being an introduction to the history of printing. We follow along on the ups and downs of Gutenberg himself and his family life, and the collaborations with others that lead to printing. - Summary by kathrinee
