| The history of the production of books from quills to movable type to the printing press is illustrated in the style of woodcuts and illuminated borders. The book includes a timetable of the history of printing. | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| The book serves well in text sets of the Middle Ages and inventions and works especially with Fisher's Gutenberg. Students may want to compare the life- and society-changing aspects of the printing press with the computer or TV. Making paper, block printing with potatoes, or making folio books might appeal to students who like hands-on-related activities. | |||||||||
