I think the answer is the second phrase books became available to many people throughout Europe

The need of printing arose when people are becoming more intellectual during the medieval ages. Many writers around this time believed that it is very expensive to hire scribes. They believe that it takes time and effort to train them to write a perfect manuscript. Thus, Gutenberg decided to create a printing press. Because of this, books become available throughout Europe and all over the world.
