Papermaking: The History and Technique of an Ancient Craft by Dard Hunter, 1947
 

'Papermaking: The History and Technique of an Ancient Craft' by Dard Hunter was first published by Alfred A Knopf Inc in New York in 1945. This page is based on a facsimile of the 1947 2nd Edition published by Dover Books in 1978. I do not know how the 2nd Edition differed from the 1st.

A full copy of the 2nd Edition can be accessed online here.
