  Johann Gutenburg
The first book to be printed on Gutenburg’s contraption was The Bible in March of 1455; between 160 and 200 of these books were originally printed, either on paper or vellum, a fine parchment of calves skin.
Gutenburg’s Bible, as the original printed version is often known, has also been called the 42-Line Bible (printed in 1455) and the 36-Line Bible (printed in 1460) due the fact that most of the columns had the aforesaid number of lines.
Although Gutenburg’s press is archaic when compared to modern day technology, his work is what paved the way toward bigger and better printing presses which are now at work around the clock to produce literature for the whole world to read.

Often referred to as the father of modern printing, Gutenburg substituted a time-consuming task known as wood engraving used before the printing press that transferred ink onto paper.
We’re thankful that Gutenburg was determined to revolutionize his time and put so much effort in perfecting his piece of work for future generations to feast upon.
The printing press, which came to light over 600 years ago is still used today around the globe for newspapers, books, bibles, textbooks and so on to keep people connected and updated with the rapid-changing news, ideas, knowledge and issues around the world.

 [Tutor] Processing Gutenburg texts
(I'm new to Python, so be gentle!) The problem is that Gutenburg texts are not actually all formatted the same way, so what started out as a fairly simple and clean process has turned into a monster, and I'd like to simplify things.
