'Building the Book from the Ancient World to the Present Day' offers a carefully curated overview of how books have been produced throughout history and across various regions of the globe. This richly illustrated volume walks readers through the unique collections of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia.

See through their eyes how the book is made, step by step, from substrate to letterform, from printing to binding--and how technological innovations, such as the invention of paper or printing with metal type, developed in various societies. This volume will prove instructive for cultural heritage professionals and general booklovers alike.
