What was Johannes Gutenberg influenced by?

Answer 1

He was influenced by his love of books. Also by his need to produce books in a faster and inexpensive way that could be given to people all over. He would always follow his father when he was on an errand to create another copy of a book for a noble or wealthy man who requested it. The book making process would take up to 6 months or lower because of the need to add design to the book, add a cover and bind it which were all jobs of different men in different areas of the country. Also its not cheap to produce a book because of its process and only wealthy people, or those who were "educated", had them.
