The official book of the Gutenberg year
City of Mainz (Publishers)
Gutenberg - aventur and art
From a secret enterprise to the first media revolution
Gutenberg - aventur and art is the official book of Mainz for the Gutenberg year. It features numerous topics including the social and artistic environment of Gutenberg, his biography, aspects and consequences of the invention of print, as well as the history of books and letters. Thus it presents all aspects of the legendary Gutenberg in a clear and comprehensive manner. While this book does NOT replace a visit to Mainz, it is however the ideal preparatory guide and certainly the most exciting and complex literature to reminisce following a visit to the city.

Gutenberg interface
To dedicate a CD-ROM to the inventor of print seems a contradiction in terms only at first sight. With the invention of movable letters Gutenberg has laid the cornerstone of a media development with a revolutionary power that is equal to the development of multimedia. The invention and the development of print, Gutenberg as a person and his era, and last but not least the world of media are all featured in this virtual Gutenberg museum. Schnittstelle Gutenberg presents a balanced mix of information and emotion, science, education, fun and games. One million movable letters are included in the text on different levels of the CD-ROM, an interactive discussion forum presents current media topics, while Gutenberg's internet address turns the CD-ROM into a useful reference tool.

600 years of Gutenberg
From the Movable Letter to Typography in Motion
In addition to the latest reports from the classical Gutenberg research, the anniversary edition of the Gutenberg Yearbook 2000 is dedicated to printing at the dawn of the new millennium. It includes many original print samples that bear witness to the current state of the art and the height of technical possibilities. Thus the Gutenberg Yearbook 2000 can function as a gauge in the final countdown of printing, if the predicted end of print should ever really take place.
Over 500 pages with several, mostly colored illustrations and around 50 original print samples.
