The Gutenberg Project, which has been around since the early days of the Internet, is an effort to catalog and share free books and texts. The project has thousands of books from hundreds of authors, all in the public domain, available for download, print, and enjoyment. The name “Guptill” is attributed to Johannes Gutenberg, who is credited with the invention of printing with movable type and the concept of unlimited reproduction, with his first work being the Bible, which appeared in 1456.

I’m reading “Collective Knowledge: Intranets, Productivity, and the Promise of the Knowledge Workplace” by Robert Marcus and Beverley Watters and I ran across the origin of the Gutenberg name:
Johannes Gutenberg is given the credit for […] the invention of printing with movable type and for the concept of unlimited reproduction. His first work, known as the Gutenberg Bible, was a 42-line […] bible that appeared about 1456.
