Non-fiction like you've never read it before!Quirky and humorous, part poetry, part reflection, this is the story of  the book told by none other than ... BOOK! This extraordinary  character begins by reminding us of his origins in oral story and clay  tablets, then ponders on papyrus, parchment and paper, and on being a  scroll who finally gets a spine. We see Book lovingly illuminated by  monks in medieval monasteries, then witness the massive changes brought  about by the invention of the printing press, and the coming of  paperbacks and eBooks in the 20th century. But Books not the  straightforwardly chronological sort, and cant help musing  and those musings, whether theyre on the evolution of the alphabet, libraries,  book-burning or blurbs, are delightful and thought-provoking. Sixteen years of  reflection and observation have gone into this charming title.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45794012889328,"sku":"9781406368987","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9781406368987_f77fdbf2-b89b-46a0-bd10-27cbe5861566.jpg?v=1713522481","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.pro\/products\/9781406368987","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
