<h1>📚 The Printing Press</h1>
<h2>Week 15 • Tuesday • The Machine That Filled the World with Books</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Before the printing press, every book was written by hand! Monks copied books one letter at a time, and one book could take a whole year to finish. Books were so rare and expensive that most people never owned one.</p>
<p>Around the year 1450, a German man named <strong>Johannes Gutenberg</strong> built the <strong>printing press</strong>. It used little metal letters called <strong>type</strong>. Workers arranged the letters, rolled ink over them, and pressed paper on top. Suddenly, they could print a page again and again!</p>
<p>Books became faster and cheaper to make. More people learned to read. Ideas spread across the world like never before. Many people call the printing press one of the greatest inventions ever.</p>
