Comments & Further Information

A first UK edition hardback with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing.  In very nice condition for age.  Some light tanning to pages.  The dust jacket is complete and still shows the price.  Author’s debut novel.

SYNOPSIS:  ” Around 1400 in the city of Mainz, a man was born whose heretical invention was to change history.  Sixty-odd years later he died – robbed of his business, his printing presses and, so he thought, his immortality.

A 15th Century tale of Johann Gensfleisch, aka Gutenberg – master printer, charmer, conman and visionary who invented ‘artificial’ writing.”
