Bok Pres

We pressed on and came to the very historic town of Bok Pres. As you might guess from the name, it is derived from the english words "Book press", because it is here that around 5 NG, a group of english speaking foreiners came to start a plantation and brought with them the invention of books to what was a very isolated country. The use of books, and their obvious superiority of storing and durability caught on very quick. So, some of the settlers wisely descided to make book binderies, paper mills and show how to make these books. The technology of books spread quickly through the country. In Bok pas there are quite a number of book binders here. There is even a large library-museum devoted to historical books and documents that are on display, like a very old copy of "Das Ksy". or "The way", a orginal santh holy scroll (dating about 446 KG), and the first book copy, written in 12 NG, printed a little over 450 years later.
