The invention was orginally thought of because he was a gold smith and he figured there could be an easier way of engraving the gold with letters besides creating new letters every time he had to engrave gold. So he created a printing press that had removable letters and symbols that could be used more than once. This made it easier and cheaper for poor people to have somthing copied. The first book to be created on the printing press was the Bible. They named it the gutenburg Bible. To this day more copies of the bible have been printed than any other book.
