I posted this before under 'ink' but i'm reposting it on its own so
people will see it.

Here's an interesting ebook on ink.

A http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/tech/printing/FortyCenturiesofInk/Chap0.html

that I happened to run across.

I listen to books on my mac so they don't hurt my eyes. This work
appears to date from the 1870s and has a quaint way of talking about
the bible with a rather ridiculous respect, and is very
anti-Greek-pagan as well, but it's full of fascinating info.
