这是一部“极简”的书籍史,但绝不是一部简单的书籍史。它把人类诞生以来书籍的历史浓缩到对100部最具代表性的书籍的介绍中,使读者得以在较短的时间内了解书籍演进的历史,领略世界上各种五色缤纷的书文化。这并不是一个容易的任务,在人类历史上产生的浩如烟海的书籍中挑出100个代表,谈何容易,总不免要“挂一漏万”的。读完此书,我认为这个任务作者完成得不错。两位作者都是书籍史方面的专家,尤其是第一作者凯夫,在这个领域耕耘多年,著述丰厚。这使得本书成为一部厚积薄发之作,深厚的专业积淀令作者对书籍的选择既具有典型性,又别具只眼,富有新意。世界上第一份有明 This is a “minimalist” history of books, but by no means a simple history of books. It enriches the history of books since the birth of mankind into the introduction of the 100 most representative books, enabling readers to understand the history of book evolution in a relatively short period of time and to learn about the various colorful books in the world. This is not an easy task. It is easy to say that there are 100 representatives from a vast collection of books in the history of mankind. After reading this book, I think the author of this task has done a good job. Both authors are experts in the history of books, especially the first author, Kevin, who has worked hard in this field for many years and has a great contribution. This makes the book a thick book, a profound accumulation of expertise so that the author’s choice of books are both typical, but also unique and innovative. The world’s first Mingming
