This is a detailed account of the development of not just the library, but also books and book-sellers – crucial connections to any library. And as for books, we are treated to the history of paper – from stone to papyrus, to parchment, and the modern paper. Libraries were small and private when books were few and voluminous. In the era before printing, we learn about scribes, and how the copy and edit books. We are left to wonder what how some books might have differed substantially from copy to copy. We learn how collecting books become a rich man’s past-time and badge of honour. We learn about cheats and noble people who bequeath large collections to the most famous libraries of the world. And we are taken to the world today where technology has replaced the paper. The authors end with this passage: ‘The sheer tangibility of the book is a key element of its success, and its versatility: as manual, totem, encyclopaedia and source of entertainment. And the library, as location and concept, has shared this mutability.’
