 Synapse's Handmade Book: Classroom Ideas and Applications
Like many of our treasured possessions, books are actually a gift from Mother Nature. Books began as rolls of vegetable fibers. These papyrus scrolls were the first "books." People went on to write on all sorts of other natural materials: palm leaves, metal plates, stone and clay tablets, silk rolls, wood and bark strips, leather and parchments. Today, of course, we use paper for our books, newspapers, and other printed materials. |
