The History Of The Book In 100 Books by Nick Cave
A concise, illustrated survey that traces the evolution of the book as both a physical object and a cultural technology by examining 100 representative items—from ancient inscriptions and medieval manuscripts through the printing revolution to modern mass-produced and digital forms. Each entry situates its example in historical context, explains production methods and material features, and explores the work’s impact on literacy, religion, politics, and everyday life, showing how shifts in format and readership transformed how knowledge is created, circulated, and preserved.
