Adam Smyth's The Book-Makers is about books as physical objects, for the most part: paper, ink, binding, assembly. And he clearly sees them as objects of beauty as well, and is fascinated by the way people have interacted with them as objects, not necessarily (or at least not wholly) based on the contents. He's illustrated this history by choosing significant figures, such as Wynkyn de Worde, Benjamin Franklin, etc. 

Because of his interest in books as objects, he doesn't really discuss ebooks in any depth at all. They're briefly mentioned, but that's it. This is really specifically about books -- or to be even more specific, about the history of the codex, rather than stories, or scrolls, or anything else. (He doesn't say anything specifically anti-ereader, either, for those who find that really gets their goat. He's just interested in something else.) 

I found some of the chapters more interesting than others, and at times he does go in a bit more depth than I was entirely interested in -- I felt bogged down by detail at times. Still, if you have a similar interest in books as physical objects, then this is likely of interest to you!
