Niisiis, tundub, et läbisin just kiirkursuse paberi valmistamises. Küllaltki põhjalik raamat ja kuna igal leheküljel on lisaks instruktsioonidele ka fotod iga sammu kohta, siis tundub loogiline, et huvilisel oleks raamatu abiga lihtne ise kodustes tingimustes paberit valmistada. Või kas just lihtne, aga kindlasti mitte üleliia keeruline.
Esimestel lehekülgedel heideti kiire pilk ka paberivalmistamise ajaloole ja millegipärast üllatas mind, et paber nii hilja masstarbimisse jõudis. Kui nüüd loogiliselt läheneda, siis vist poleks see asjaolu pidanud mind üllatama, ent üllatas siiski.
