Johann was a very curious boy and loved to learn how things work. His life is an example of fierce determination and perseverance as he worked on his invention.
Though he dealt with many legal issues and various other setbacks, he eventually became successful in his endeavors. The first books he ever produced for the public were Bibles, so we have much to be thankful for! Great little biography.
