Gutenberg printed the Bible as the first major book on his printing press around 1450.

Explanation

The Gutenberg Press section of Chapter 5 establishes that Gutenberg's first printed book was the Bible (around 1450). Chapbooks and almanacs came later as cheaper print forms; Amar Jivan is an Indian autobiography. In MCQs, write the option letter and a brief supporting line for full credit.
