Johann Gutenberg and the Amazing Printing Press by Bruce Koscielniak, ISBN 0618263519
If a book was published 600 years ago, it would have been copied out by hand by a scribe in a monastery and probably would have taken months to produce. But thanks to Johann Gutenberg in the fifteenth century, modern printing was born and nowadays it can take only a few seconds to print a book.
