Treasures in Focus is a series of pocket guides to some of the British Library's greatest treasures.
This introduction to the Gutenberg Bible, the first complete book to be printed rather than handwritten, explains how it was made and its significance in history. It also illustrates a selection of the typeset pages with their painted decorations, many reproduced at the same size as they appear in the original Bible.
