Exploring the origins of the book, the author traces the early history of communicating by paper pages. She offers illustrated instructions for four of the first forms of books on paper, developed by the Chinese, which can be replicated today using simple tools and available materials. This book blends history, how-to expertise, and a journalist's eye for detail into a compelling narrative of both cultural continuity and contemporary change.
