Unexpected
This is a book strictly about the history of paper making. The description of the book did not lead me to think the content was what it was.

An Essential Historical Primer for Papermaking,
By hexdexus (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Papermaking (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
"Dard Hunter is still recognized as the world's foremost authority on paper and papermaking. This is the classic work on papermaking, used as a text and reference in classrooms, museums and libraries." More historical than how-to, you'll find just about every aspect of papermaking covered in this book. Over 320 illustrations show actual pages from rare books and scrolls from every corner of the world, scenes of past and present-day papermaking, tools, materials, and watermarks. A two-page map illustrates the text to trace the 1000-year journey of papermaking from China to Europe, and a chronology of paper and paper related developments over 4500 years.

This review is from: Papermaking (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography) (Paperback)
Everything you've ever wanted to know about papermaking and more. This book has a lot of detailed information about the history and techniques of papermaking all over the world, but is so detailed it can be very tiresome. Definitely reads more as a textbook than light reading.
