MariaDating to right at the end of the medieval period is what I think to be the oldest printing/bookbinding works in the world still in existence.
It is now a museum open to the public and is a brilliant place to visit if you have the chance. The whole history of printing and bookbinding is there along with actual presses and other equipment.
The museum is called the Plantin-Moretus Museum and is in Antwerp, Belgium. http://museum.antwerpen.be/plantin_moretus/index_eng.html
