Johannes Gutenberg introduced
innovations to printing that first
made the mass production of
books possible. It is arguably
the most significant invention of
the 2nd millenium. For this
reason, the German metal worker
and inventor was dubbed
"Man of the Millenium"
by American journalists.

only books published in
English and Chinese.
