Puffed Out with Air,
This review is from: Space Between Words: The Origins of Silent Reading (Figurae: Reading Medieval Culture) (Paperback)
This book has some interesting things to say about how the practice of silent reading and the practice of putting spaces between written words are mutually reinforcing. Correspondingly, in cultures where reading is primarily reading aloud, written languages tend not to have spaces between words. But most of what the book has to say could have been said in a couple of articles. It is very repetitive and the author has a remarkable ability to use a lot of words to say very little.
