'This outstanding book by two acclaimed Australian creators is thought-provoking and informative… Ursula Dubosarsky's text, combined with Ron Brooks' illustrations, refers to the fascinating story of books — how they are created, preserved and connected to wider society and culture — highlighted by the story of one particularly special book that the library discovered and added to its collection…The superb illustrations expand the story of the special book with visual references to pivotal moments throughout the history of books and printing…Highly recommended for all ages.' — Margaret Hamilton, Books + Publishing
