Paper by Mark Kurlansky

I didn’t intend to read this whole book. I was just interested in the introduction of paper, but Kurlansky caught me up in his narrative of how the introduction of writing changed the globe, inspiring quests for new technologies to make writing easier and better, which in turn changed the globe again. And again. And again. It’s an interesting book taking the reader from clay tablets to modern printing methods.
