There was no press in Yemen until the press in the port city of Aden was established in 1891. From 1891 until 1925, ten books were printed there. All are very rare as these were intended for the local market only, not even for other Jews in Yemen. Additionally Jews didn’t want to use printed book preferring manuscripts.
