Index
We may love books, but do we know ,
what lies behind them? In Book,
Keith Houston reveals that the paper,
ink, thread, glue, and board from
which a book is made tell as rich a
story as the words on its pages—of civilizations,
empires, human ingenuity, and madness. In an
invitingly tactile history of this 2,000-year-old
medium, Houston follows the development of
writing, printing, the art of illustrations, and
binding to show how we have moved from
cuneiform tablets and papyrus scrolls to the
hardcovers and paperbacks of today. Sure to
delight book lovers of all stripes with its lush,
full-color illustrations. The Book gives us the
momentous and surprising history behind
humanity s most important—and universal—•
information technology.
