You probably mean the Gütenberg's Bible; the thing is that the print  
itself is a grand example of technology evolution. This particular  
book had been prepared manually (that is, the boards) and required  
enormous amount of effort. Later on, with the advance of technology,  
spaces were assembled from a small number of fixed-width elements;  
just for the sake of trade of quality for performance and  
predictability.
