Summary:

"Although today we are more distant from the intricate papermaking process and, as a result, its value is almost unnoticed to us, it was crucial in the evolution of communication and the development of knowledge. The growing popularity of paper, coupled with the introduction of the printing press in Europe, gave rise to one of the most influential moments in human history, profoundly changing the access to and production of books, as well as the dissemination of ideas. This book brings together a selection of knowledge about paper, from manufacturing to processing. It offers a guide for anyone who wants to know more about how paper is made, its properties and how both influence its handling. It emphasises the importance of understanding paper as a raw material and the extent to which its properties have an impact, from its development to the graphic objects themselves." --back cover
