The popular science publication includes twelve chapters and covers the period from the 11th to the 20th century. Using the Novgorod Museum collections as an example, the authors tell about different types of written monuments: graffiti of Novgorod churches, birch bark letters, the origin of Novgorod book culture, the history of Russian printing, the art of book decoration, and monuments of Novgorod literature. Separate essays are devoted to the oldest of the found Russian books - the Novgorod Psalter, ancient Russian libraries, the history of education in Veliky Novgorod, inscriptions on coins and seals.
