Paper: An Elegy by Ian Sansom
5.0
A delightful little book celebrating the material that is paper.
This is the type of book that the English do best, quirky, a single subject, and by someone with an obsession boarding on OCD!
It covers all sorts of subjects, from money to origami, it is a book that allows the author to describe his passion for this now ubiquitous material. There are lots of anecdotes and stories, and it is written in a pleasant style, with a moderate number of diagrams.
Great little book. If you liked Just My Type, you'll like this
