Papyrus, Tapa, Amate & Rice Paper: Papermaking in Africa, the Pacific, Latin America & Southeast Asia allowed the author to study early papermaking and the "precursors of paper itself, the ancient and earliest means of sheet formation from cellulose fibers that have not first been separated from one another as they are before they can become paper." These early forms of paper are commonly called "proto-papers." Included are many illustrations and photographs of the various types of papers and the processes of producing them.
