From the Good Mountain: How Gutenberg Changed the World

40 pp. | Roaring Brook/Flash Point/Porter | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-542-1 $17.99
(2) K-3 In this inviting very-first look at Gutenberg's transformative invention and the intricate craft of early printing, Rumford vivifies the ways and means of medieval innovation with intriguing details, focusing on highlights. An epilogue elucidates and extends the occasionally too-truncated information, as does handsome watercolor and gouache art that recalls illuminated manuscripts while revealing additional tasks, hazards, and sources of inspiration.
