Introduction of papers ushered in a revolution in the world of information. Nicolo Conti referes to the use of Samar-quandirag papers in Gujrat and Amir khusrau alludes the Shami or Syrian paper in Delhi. Amir Khusrau and Barni give a vivid description of book sellers of Delhi but it appears that the quality of paper was not sufficient to cope with the demand of the period and people had to exercise economy in the use of paper. Barni refers to an amusing instance in which the royal farmans were washed under Balban's instruction in order to be able to re-utilize them for the purpose of writing.
