Although the story is not historically correct, but this book is still a joy, perhaps more for adult book lovers than children. The artistry is fabulous, and the pop-ups are quite clever -- my favorite is one depicting a clothesline of drying pages and a pull tab that creates the sound of snoring as Gutenberg sleeps while freshly printed pages hang overhead to dry. Librarians might get a laugh out of the fact that even the copyright and CIP is provided in a pop up. This book is a treasure for any bibliophile who is also a child at heart.

This used book was meant as a gift, so I wanted to inspect it before sending it on. It was exactly as described, and I could have had it shipped directly to the receiver. It even showed up a few days sooner than expected, so needless to say I was very happy. Thank you!
