351. If a Roman emperor wanted to read a book, he had to unroll it. Books were written on long scrolls like a roll of paper towels. This was clumsy, especially if you were looking for a certain passage. Around A.D. 100, the codex was invented. It had a stack of pages stitched together at the side and protected by a cover. The codex was easier to carry around, to store, and to search through. Books we read today look something like a codex. In the Middle Ages, monks made books. They copied them by hand onto prepared animal skins called parchment. The monks often decorated the pages with beautiful color illustrations called illuminations. Books were scarce and very expensive. Few people who were not priests or monks could read.

352. Paper and printing were first invented in China. Paper came into Europe through the Muslim world. It was common by the 14^th century. Johann Gutenberg of Germany perfected printing in the 1450s. Once books no longer had to be copied by hand, they became less expensive. Reading became more common. At first, books were still not easy to make and not cheap. Each letter was on a separate piece of type. A typesetter had to put each letter into place individually. Once all the letters for the page were in place, they were covered with ink and printed. This was done one page at a time by hand on a press until the 19^th century.
