NY: HarperCollins, Date: 2003. (USA) 1st printing. No markings, Fine in Fine dust jacket. Hardcover, 444pp, index, no illus. In vivid detail, Basbanes examines the many materials that have been used over the centuries to record information -- among them clay tablets, papyrus scrolls, slabs of stone, palm leaves, animal skins, and hammered sheets of gold and copper. Also discussed are the various debates that continue to rage about preservation, which may mean saving and storing books on paper indefinitely, or as electronic data, which are by nature ephemeral.
