Introduction to books

The history of the book is the story of industrial innovation that improved the quality of paper, access to the information, portability, and the cost of production. In ancient time writing was done on dry plant leaves, silk, metals etc. Like in China Silk was a base for writing. Writing was done with the help of brush made up of plants stems. In Ancient India, dried palm tree leaves were used as a base for paper. Any bits and pieces which will grasp and pass on text is a contender for books.
