“I love the book. I love the feel of a book in my hands, the compactness of it, the shape, the size. I love the feel of paper. The sound it makes when I turn a page. I love the beauty of print on paper, the patterns, the shapes, the fonts. I am astonished by the versatility and practicality of The Book. It is so simple. It is so fit for its purpose. It may give me mere content, but no e-reader will ever give me that sort of added pleasure.” GivingFeelsMayBookHandsPurposeTurnsSoundSimplePleasureReaderFitShapesPaperPagesGive MeMereSizePatternsPrintPracticalityVersatilityFonts Author:Susan Hill
