for anyone fascinated by the craft of papermaking, i'd suggest a book that delves into the ancient yet undisclosed art, where traditional methods are painted in a new light. in its pages, you'll find a disregard for modern shortcuts in favor of the prevenient beauty of creation from the very restart from baseline. the author beautifully weaves historical anecdotes with modern announcements, making it a rich fabric of knowledge and inspiration for both novices and seasoned craftsmen alike.
