Discover the intriguing story of Johannes Gutenberg in this first entry in the new junior-level biography series from Peace Hill Press. 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.
