Synopsis
Let us suppose for a moment that paper were to disappear. Would anything be lost? Everything would be lost. Paper surrounds us. Not only as books, letters and diaries, but as beer mats and birth certificates, board games and business cards, fireworks and flypaper, photographs and playing cards, tickets and tea bags. We are paper people. But the age of paper is coming to an end. E-books regularly outsell physical books. E-tickets replace the paper variety. Archives are digitized. The world we know was made from paper, and yet everywhere we look, paper is beginning to disappear. As we enter a world beyond paper, Ian Sansom explores the paradoxes of the greatest of man-made materials and shows how some kinds of paper, and the ghosts and shadows of paper, will always be with us. Paper: An Elegy is a history of paper in all its forms and functions. Both a cultural study and a series of personal reflections on the meaning of paper, this book is a timely meditation on the very paper it is printed on., From the author of The Bad Book Affair comes a witty, personal, and entertaining meditation on the history and significance of paper--an international cultural study and a series of personal reflections on the meaning of this essential product.

    Shipping was very slow. Arrived in a make shift box that was taped together. Shaft also has an extension in it which was never mentioned. I get buying a used shaft but details need to be mentioned so the buyer knows exactly what they are getting. I can’t even use this shaft now!
