The Book - It's History & Development - Cyril Davenport - Paperback

Paperback Version

The Book is a general overview of how physical books came about, starting with the development of the written word and touching on papers, inks, bindings, leathers, and so much more that go into the making of a physical book. This book does not cover what goes in the book, just what physically makes the book.

This is the first book in the BABS ( Books About Books Series) that Suck the Rainbow and the Carter/Johnson Library & Collection are collaberating on in order to provide nearly lost information on all things books for budding griots, librarians, binders, and collectors... and maybe even writers, artist, and publishers in the future!
