How long did it take to make a book before the invention of the printing press?
Many days, as each page would have to be written by hand. Several scribes would work on a book, each writing different pages. If the book was for the Church, several monks could take a year or more, due to the Old English writing in Latin and many gold leaf religious water-coloured pictures. The printing press brought books to the masses (provided they had the money).
