Re: can you find a scientist that invented the first book?please.

Nobody knows who invented the first book. If you mean a bound object with pages,
as we think of books today, it was invented by the ancient Romans. "Codexes" 
made of wax tablets bound together appeared around 200 BC, while codexes made
of leaves of papyrus, with writing on both sides, first appeared sometime 
between about 100 BC and AD 100. They didn't come into common use until sometime 
between about 50 and 100 AD; by the end of that period, the codex had pretty 
well replace the scroll in the Roman Empire.
