It’s said that Wood-block printing(木版印刷) was invented sometime between the 4th and the 7th
in China. The earliest book in 868 and was found in a Dunhuang
cave. Wood-block printing took a long time because a new block was needed for every
in a book. By the 11th century printed books could be all over China. They included books of Confucius' thoughts, dictionaries, and books on maths. In 1340, books could be printed using two - black and red. Although the Chinese learnt about printing so , printing was not introduced in other parts of the world for hundreds of years. It is thought that when the great Italian traveler Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century, he saw printed books. It is possible that Marco Polo brought that to Europe. But printed books did not come to Europe 1450 when a German called Johann Gutenberg a printing machine. Twenty-four years later, in 1474, an Englishman called William Caxton printed the printed book in English. His second book was about the game of chess. Caxton printed about a hundred books, and some can still be found today in museums.
