I learned that the Guttenberg Bible was actually NOT the first printed book. It was the first substantial and significant book to be printed, but the press was used for numerous flyers, pamphlets, calendars, and small folios before it was geared up to do the bibles.

We went to the Huntington Library in Pasadena today, which has a Guttenberg on display.
