History of Bookcases

June 30th, 2009 by admin

When production of books was limited to a very small extent and most of the books were published in hand-written pages, the books were stored in small expensive containers usually carried by the clergy or the wealthy. It was finally the invention of the printing press which greatly reduced the cost price of books thereby, resulting in more people gaining a direct access to possessing books. Gradually, it became a convenient trend to have the title written on the shelve books and spine. Earlier, bookcases came to be manufactured only in oak, which still remains to be a favorite option for people planning to have an elegant and stylish library in their homes.
