Book on a book shelf. Petroski G.

The topic that the author explores is books and bookshelves. He asks the question: is it so obvious and inevitably the current state of things when books stand vertically on horizontal shelves? Readers will trace how the scroll of the times of antiquity turns into a code, and he, in turn, is into the book that we are accustomed to, and find out how the task of storing book meetings was solved at different times. This is a generously illustrated and excitingly written book about the book - about how it was born and how we learned to store it.
