In a world where everything is becoming increasingly digitized and where whole reams of information are readily accessible via the internet and electronic libraries, extreme value is still being placed on the humble book. People are willing to pay incredible sums of money (whilst at the same time waving goodbye to their cash ISAs and any money in their current accounts or savings accounts) just to own and hold a copy of one of these rare, antiquated gems.

How did the Romans come to invent books?

The Romans did not invent books. Books had been around in some form for a couple of thousand years. The Romans used books, but their "books" were written on scrolls that were unrolled to be read. From the scroll, the codex developed, which was a handwritten manuscript, the pages most times bound together. An actual book as we know it was not developed until the invention of the printing press.
