I love books that have any relation to books, even if it's a history of papyrus as without it we wouldn't have books. This was a very informative book.

It is a great historical book about the importance of paper. I, a book lover, found this story very interesting.
Thank you Netgalley for this nice read.

History of paper! Perfect for a book lover like myself. I remember learning about the history in maybe 6th grade, then it was repeated in various art classes, then later college courses, but to own a book on the history is too marvelous! What I have always found funny (and really sad) was that so many libraries disposed of their magazine and newspaper collections way back in the 60's and 70's, only to find the film replacements not lasting as long and all those newspapers, on the market, still holding their own. I have books from the 18th century that are still holding well. Paper trumps every device I know of! Wonderfully written and researched.

I have always been fascinated by anything to do with Ancient Egypt, and this book was no exception! I enjoyed learning more about an aspect I knew little about, but that was so vital to their history and the knowledge that we have today!

This is an interesting and well-researched look into papyrus paper and the role it played in developing written records and history.
