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 Book’s not the  straightforwardly chronological sort, and can’t help musing – and those musings, whether they’re 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\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56450647425398,"sku":"9781406368987","price":7.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29636567.jpg?v=1760453699","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781406368987-my-name-is-book","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
