This gorgeous book is a sort of history of itself: it explores in four parts (page, text, illustration, and form) the backstory of how books were conceived of and produced, and how that process has evolved over the past 2,000 years. From tablets and scrolls to the hardcovers and paperbacks we swap and cherish today; from the ostraca to the octavo, the calfskin to the codex, Houston ambles through ancient cultures into modern times. A perfect volume for booklovers. ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau
