The first is probably lost to history; the earliest printing technique was "block" printing, where a whole block of text was carved into wood and used to produce multiple copies. A very early block print is an invocation to Apollo, printed in the 6th century BC - although it's very likely that the technique had some "practise" pieces that were lost.
The earliest known block printed book is Diamond Sutra; produced in China in the 5th century.
The first movable type printing (where each letter is a separate, reusable element) was also developed in China, but the high number of characters in the Chinese alphabet limited it's use.
The Gutenburg Bible is one of the earliest books (1455) printed using the movable type system, but it wasn't the first book Gutenburg printed, but the earliest didn't carry a printer's name. A book of Latin grammar (called Ars Minor) may have been printed by Gutenberg in 1451/2.
