From papyrus scrolls to modern-day paperbacks, books have provided written and pictorial information for nearly two thousand years. Beyond enjoying the contents of their pages, most readers rarely consider the history and craft of this common object. Cover to Cover: The History and Craft of Books explores the materials and technologies used to create books, from paper and printing to binding and covers.
