Johannes spent his days shut away, working on a mysterious project. His neighbors wondered what he was doing in his metal shop. Why did he need so much money? Was he making expensive gold jewelry? Weapons? Armor? What project could possibly take up so many hours of Johannes' time? What was Johannes doing behind the closed doors of his shop? Discover the intriguing story of Johannes Gutenberg in Who in the World Was the Secretive Printer? In this engaging biography, Robert Beckham goes beyond the few facts children are usually told about the inventor of the printing press. Instead, Beckham tells us Gutenberg's story. - Back cover.
