==Locations of known complete Gutenberg Bibles==

As of 2009, 49 Gutenberg Bibles are known to exist, but of these only 21 are complete. Others have pages or even whole volumes missing. In addition, there are a substantial number of fragments, some as small as individual leaves, which are likely to represent about another 16 copies. Many of these fragments have survived because they were used as part of the binding of later books. 12 copies on vellum survive, although only four of these are complete and one is of the New Testament only.
