Books: A Living History
Martyn Lyons
Publisher: Thames & Hudson Ltd
Hardback
£19.95
A fantastically enlightening and lavishly illustrated history of the book which leaves no aspect of our best friend’s story unexplored. The text on every page is studded with photographs that chart the development of the book’s form (from heavy tablets to digital tablets) and the ways in which we acquire and enjoy them, including plenty to titilate lovers of real bookshops - and we know a few of those! A rare beast - an affordable coffee table book that will be read from cover to lovely cover.
