#TBRtemptation post 3! Pettegree shows that the world of the Gutenberg era was much more complicated than some clergy rescuing ancient texts, transforming the world for people, & bringing reading to the masses. In particular, this book looks at the first 150 years after Gutenberg's press took off. Straddling financial & religious imperatives, the constraints various countries placed on the book, and so much more! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
