The woodblock method of printing become popular in Europe is as follows
1. The production of handwritten manuscripts could not satisfy the ever-increasing demand for books.
2. Copying was an expensive, laborious and time-consuming business.
3. Manuscripts were fragile, awkward to handle, and could not be carried around or read easily.
4. Circulation therefore remained limited.
5. With the growing demand for books, woodblock printing gradually became more and more popular as the cost of production by wood block was cheaper.
