Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In the second part of the fifteenth century, 20 million printed books flooded the European markets. Between 1450 and 1550, printing presses were introduced in most European countries. German printers left their homeland in search of work and to help build new presses in other countries. As the number of printing presses expanded, so did book production. By the sixteenth century, there were almost 200 million copies in circulation. This change from manual to mechanical printing was the catalyst for the printing revolution.
Hence the correct statement would be that nearly 20 million copies of books hit the market in the fifteenth century.
