John Gutenberg, First Master Printer: His Acts and Most Remarkable Discourses and his Death

A secret kept in a locked workshop, and then the world found out. Dingelstedt tells Gutenberg's story as the drama it was: the years of concealment, the money borrowed and lost, the partner who took the press, and the invention that got away from its maker and never stopped. The birth of printing, told with a dramatist's sense of what a scene is for.
