Johann Gutenberg and the Amazing Printing Press

(4) K-3 Presenting Gutenberg's contribution to printing, as well as considerable information about Chinese and Korean printing before his press, this account is packed with accurate details, such as how parchment is made and how type is poured. Informative captioned illustrations in watercolor strengthen the explanations, which are fairly complex and contrast with the breezy beginning and end of the volume.
