Guidebooks Publishers and Publishing
Publishing refers to the preparation and production of written materials for public use. It makes publicly known information collected into a set guideline. Printing began in China in the 6th century, however, Johann Gutenberg, a resident of Germany in the 15th century, developed the first mode of modern publishing, the printing press. Up until his invention, publishing was done by hand, and copied by hand for distribution. With Gutenberg's invention, publishing grew to its present form, now overtaking much of the literate world. And literacy numbers have greatly expanded as a result of this growth. The links included herein refer to publishers of guidebooks.
