@histodons And now over to the abuses of unwanted paper. Used books were an often abused and discarded artifact, lying on floors, serving as door stops, etc. The idea of orderly stored books derives from library history is only one part of the story, #bookhistory.
Unbound books, written upon paper sheets, were likely to become "used books" or waste materials no one really needs any longer. Material waiting to be discarded. Like the books lying here on the Alchemist's floor. #histodons
