Several thousands years ago the Ten Commendments were written down on the stone, in Mesopotamia cuneiform was invented to write down the letter on the clay, in Indas civilisation many clays were found with still unknown letters, Rosetta stone was a clue for us to use stones to write down the letters.
Later papyrus was found to make paper, but we had to wait another 1500 years till Gutenberg invented the printing technic. Then the book in current form had been gradually established, till then goat skin had been used and the roles were general, the technic of binding, printing were only developed later.
We must say the history of books is not so long as we might resume.
We used to write a letter in paper with a pen. Now we rarely do so. Library used to refer to only building that contains lots of books, now that also means collection of contents in computer.--
