learning, books have long been valued for the pleasure and en
tertainment they provide for. In early times, books consisted of (4)______

terials. Modern books consist of printed pages bound between protective

The wedge-shape letters characteristic of cuneiform script was pressed into (7)______

papyrus plant. The strips were pasted together to form long sheets. A stick
was attached to each end of the sheet, which was then wounded up to form (9)______
