"The most important invention FOR History"
  
 Perhaps it is too much to say that the printing press is the most important invention in History, but it is not unreasonable to affirm that it is the most important invention FOR History, since this is the written record of what has happened, and History would not be that we know if it were not for the printing press.
 In this great work, the history of printing, of the arts and crafts that accompany it, from the beginnings of culture to the digital age, is made. A widely documented and profusely illustrated work with more than 2,000 illustrations and vignettes in color and black, placed next to the reference text.
  
 Volume I: From stone to continuous paper. Pictography, the first form of writing.
 Calligraphy and initials. From mobile type to phototypesetting. From xylography to photomechanics.  
  
 Volume II: From typography to offset. Manual binding. Bibliography.
  
 Some comments about this book:
  
 "I have no doubt that this work will become, over time, the Augusto Jurado, which is the best sign of identity to prove that it is different from its peers. Of great interest to bibliophiles, it is no less for
 who have to prepare classes and opposition topics "
