Today,
I offer a couple of Ethiopian or Coptic style books I made recently.
After scrolls, came the Ethiopian codex, or the book made in the form
which is most familiar to us today, front and back boards with pages
in between. That form made information more easily portable and readable,
and in effect helped revolutionize communication in the world in that
day. I celebrate the opportunity I have had to learn about the early
books and their construction.
The
Internet has also changed the world by making information available
in seconds to all who would seek it and by making it possible for anyone
at all to write whatever they want and share it with the world in this
new communication revolution. I also celebrate that opportunity here.
Thank you for reading.
