I wonder if people who grew up reading scrolls were equally ambivalant about the introduction of the codex. The codex format of smaller sheets bound in sequence can hardly be improved upon for convenience, but it does lack the flare of a scroll. And were tablet readers just as resistant to the scroll? You spend all that with your stylus time mastering cuneiform and then some young punk says "Hey, check out this ink and papyrus!"

Like 'Hey, Ray, what the hell is this?' Oh, that's lipstick from the 1700s, that's dog food from the turn of the century, that's a hat from World War II. I'm interested in the minutiae of things. Oddities." good luck on the blog, dude. not too long ago i was at the national arboretum, looking at papyrus growing, and thinking about the whole idea of using it as something to write on. it seems easier to imagine inventing the iPod rather than inventing the book.
