Books are one of humankind's greatest forms of expression, and now Book, in a witty, idiosyncratic voice, tells us the inside story. A wonderfully eccentric character with strong opinions and a poetic turn of phrase,Book tells of a journey from papyrus scrolls to medieval manuscripts to printed paper and beyond-pondering, along the way, many bookish things, including the evolution of the alphabet, the library (known to Egyptians as the healing place of the soul ), and even book burning. Book is a captivating work of nonfiction by one of England's leading poets.
