The Book. A Cover to Cover exploration of the most powerful object of our time, by Keith Houston.

A beautiful book about books. A bit of history, including papyrus, parchment and paper, writing, movable type and rotary printing machines, illustrations, woodcut print, lithography and photography, rolls, codex and modern books. Interesting material, organised in a coherent, easy to read way. It was a fun and enlightening read.

I recommend this book to any book lover.
