Více o knize
Printer's Error chronicles some of the strangest and most humorous episodes in the history of Western printing. For example, while the Gutenberg Bible is regarded as the first printed work in the Western world, Gutenberg's name doesn't appear anywhere on it. Today, Johannes Gutenberg is recognized as the father of Western printing, but for the first few hundred years after the invention of the printing press, no one knew who printed the first book. This long-standing mystery took researchers down a labyrinth of ancient archives and libraries, revealing surprising details, such as the fact that Gutenberg's financier sued him, repossessed his printing equipment, and started his own printing business afterward. Printer's Error is a rollicking ride through the annals of time and the printed word.
