#228 The History of Books (What’s your book?)

Humans have always loved to leave their stories behind to share with others.

Starting with drawings on cave walls,

Writing on bone, stone, tree bark or anything else, the first writings were ledgers of sales.

Then mystical and religious texts sharing the concepts for living.

Papyrus scrolls made from reeds that grew in the Nile were up to 133 feet long!

The bound and printed matter that we are familiar with started with the development of printing presses the most famous of which is the Gutenberg Press made in Germany to print the Bible.
