Through the Middle Ages, book production was a time consuming, on-demand activity, mostly confined to the clergy: when a monk needed a book, they asked a scribe to hand copy it from the original. In 1436, that drastically changed: Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press, and, with that, the cost of book production decreased exponentially.
But it took over a century for printed books to become a part of everyday life.
Looking at books printed between 1436 and the 1500s, one can see how the book shifted from a special object used by a narrow group of people (the clergy) to an object aimed at the larger society. The book became marketable: the title page was invented; then, titles were moved to the front cover; front covers became increasingly expressive and more beautiful; text in books became more clear, legible, and less embellished; different books targeted different segments of society; and experimentation continued, in an attempt to capture the interest and imagination of larger and larger numbers of people.
