subject: History of Paper [print this page] You will find that paper has a very rich and colorful history behind it, if you only care to know. It wasn't always easy to buy paper just about anywhere. In the past, you'd have to be rich in order to afford one. Or you would need to find a stationer's shop to buy one. So the next time you pick up an A4 card, think about how far paper has come since being used for wiping by Ancient Chinese Royalty.
