The book has a story that’s centuries old, full of details and achievements, full of imagination and adventures. So what is a book? How is it made? Who invented it, and who makes it today? And where are the answers to all of these questions? From China to Egypt, from forests to factories, no one will want to miss a story like this.

It is a must-read for those who love books — and a perfect one for those who are starting to.
