In the modern world we’ve come to take for granted such staples of civilization as pen and paper, and realize how vital they are only when we can’t simply reach for the back of any envelop to jot down a shopping list, or when we bemoan the confounding disappearance of the ballpoint we put down only two minutes ago. While plentiful paper will be left behind by our civilization, it is a particularly perishable material and will readily burn with the wildfires tearing through deserted cities or molder away with humidity and floods. How can you easily mass-produce paper for yourself, and leapfrog over th time-consuming production of other materials such as papyrus and parchment, used historically

Paper was invented by the Chinese sometime around 100 AD., although it took more than a millennium to diffuse across to Europe. Paper made from tree pulp, though, is a surprisingly modern invention. Until the late nineteenth century, paper was mainly manufactured from linen fragments, recycling tattered rags. Linen is a fabric made from fibers of the flax plant, and any fibrous plants can in principle be converted into paper: hemp, nettles, rushes or other coarse grasses. But as demand grew, spurred on, as we’ll see, by the plethora of books and news papers churned out of the printing presses, other suitable fibres were intently sought. Wood is a fabulous source of good quality papermaking fibers . . . Page 211

Beautiful - and interesting. I love paper. And while I love ipernity for many reasons, I still prefer viewing photographs printed. And taking pen to paper is a visceral action that is good for my brain!
