For rare book collectors, an original copy of the 'Gutenberg Bible' - there are only forty-six in existence - is the undisputed gem of any collection. 'The Lost Gutenberg' recounts five centuries in the life of one particular copy of the Bible from its very creation by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany, to its ultimate resting place, in a steel vault under the protection of the Japanese government. Margaret Leslie Davis draws readers into this incredible saga, inviting them into the colourful lives of each of its fanatic collectors along the way.
