Gutenberg was born in Mainz, Germany in 1398. He enjoyed reading manuscripts (hand writings) books that his parents and friends had.His father used to work at the Mainz Mint and Gutenberg went with him, he learned tips from jewelers and goldsmiths on how to carve or how to make metal.When he was young he loved to read books, but he says that making a single book would take months, even years, and so he didn't want to wait that long so he planned to do something about it some day.He wanted to contrive a easy and quick way of printing. He didn't want no one to know what was he doing. So, he looked for a workshop that nobody would find him. Those tips help him later on his invention. Then he moves to Strasbourg in 1428. He stayed in Strasbourg for 20 years. During that time he fell inlove with Ennelin zu der Iserin Thure. Then he decided not to marry her becuase of her violence.======
