Johann Gutenberg
Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press. This machine allowed him to move small blocks of letters in a way where written material could be printed and mass-produced.
Few people could read before the invention of the printing press, but once books became less expensive, literacy spread throughout Europe.
Gutenberg produced the first mass-produced book which was a 1,282 page bible.
