Wood-block printing took a long time because a new block was needed for every p 58 in z book. By the 1 Ith century printed books could be f 59 all over China. They included books of Confucius' thoughts, dictionaries, and books on maths. In 1340, books could be printed u-sing two c 60 , black and red.
