The Book on the Bookshelf
The theme that the author explores is books and bookshelves. He poses the question: is the current state of affairs, where books stand vertically on horizontal shelves, so obvious and inevitable? Readers will trace how the scroll of antiquity transformed... into the codex, which in turn became the book we are accustomed to, and will learn how the problem of storing book collections was solved at different times. This generously illustrated and engagingly written book is about the book — how it came into existence and how we learned to store it.
