Reviews

"The history of paper is a history of cultural transmission, and Kurlansky tells it vividly in this compact, well-illustrated book."
*The New York Times*

"Kurlansky’s book is published with a deckle edge finish, a process that replaces the regular clean-cut trim of a page with a jagged, pulped roughness... It is a beautiful thing to hold and feel, and it presents a fine argument for the retention of paper as an aesthetically lusty object, let alone one that’s thrived through centuries of change."
*The Observer*

"Kurlansky expertly argues a case for its [paper's] continuing survival."
*The Scotsman*

"Kurlansky... explains how something so simple came to play such a vital part in history."
*The Sunday Business Post*

"Paper is not what you would call a learned book, but one learns an awful lot from it, all packaged in Kurlansky’s whipsmart prose."
*The Times*
