Description
Invented by the Chinese 300 BC, paper is now part of human history. From the art of calligraphy that was practiced by monks to love letters on perfumed sheets, paper is the foundation of written texts. But paper also has its more prosaic functions as wrapping substance of cigarettes or the medium for money. The book offers the reader a very interesting promenade through the various uses and stories of paper through the ages.
