Print did not immediately collapse manuscript book production

Evidence

The production of manuscript books increased in volume for at least two decades after the invention of printing in the middle of the 1450s. The birth of print did not cause the collapse of manuscript culture; manuscript writings, in many forms, would continue to play a major part in the work of government, in the provision of news and in the literary world, for many centuries. — Andrew Pettegree, Arthur der Weduwen, The Library- A Fragile History, 167
