Dahl's History of the Book

Yesterday I finished reading another book for school, Bill Katz's "Dahl's History of the Book". (Interesting sidenote: the two classes I'm taking right now deal with completely opposite ends of the spectrum: one is on the history of books and libraries, the other is on using social networking tools like blogs in a library. I'm working on two different papers right now, both due next week, one is on Medieval manuscripts, the other on blogs. Talk about surreal!). Anyway, it was easier to read than Diringer's weighty tome, and very interesting. I'm hoping all this extra reading pays off come midterm time!
