pre-columbian books?

[edit]

It seems curious that the pre-columbian people should have independently arrived at using paper and at the format of a "book" with multiple pages. Is this so? Did they use the same material to produce paper as contemporary Europeans? Is there more information about this? Tenbergen (talk) 04:36, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Following some of the wikilinks will give you more info (Maya codices for example), and your questions are answered in the infobox at the top of the article (screenfold book, made of bark paper), I dropped a link in to amate, the type of paper the Maya used.
