It seems as if written books are becoming less and less popular, but authors Roderick Cave and Sara Ayad still believe in the value of paper and binding. In the beautifully illustrated collection of what they believe are 100 of the most important books throughout time, Cave and Ayad paint the picture of spoken and written language and how it has evolved with society. From bamboo scrolls and cave paintings, all the way through the printing press, and finally looking into e-books and the fate of the physical copy, The History of the Book in 100 Books is more than just a coffee table decoration.
