Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The first book Gutenberg printed was the Bible. From an early age, Gutenberg observed wine and olive presses. Later, he mastered the craft of goldsmithing, learned how to polish stones, and also developed the skills necessary to make lead moulds for producing trinkets. Using this understanding as a foundation, Gutenberg modified existing technologies to produce his invention. The printing press was modelled after an olive press, and metal types for the alphabet's letters were created using moulds. Gutenberg developed the system in 1448. The Bible was the first publication he made. Over three years, about 180 copies were printed.
