Patented: History of Inventions
History
The Book. It’s the most powerful object in history (sorry Sword fans). But how did it come to be? And what was wrong with good old scrolls in the first place?
Dallas is joined by Keith Houston, author of The Book: A Cover-to-Cover Exploration of the Most Powerful Object of Our Time to unpack the story of how the book came to be.
Edited by Siobhan Dale, Produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long
