								<p><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Woodblock printing on paper was used extensively. It was one of the reasons for the increase in literacy. Books were available in multiple copies relatively cheaply. Some of the most common books were calendars, used to keep track of the seasons and planting days.

It is a full length book and heavily illustrated..</font></p>
