“[as for evolution]....cutting out the sections [on the subject] is preferrable if the portions are not thick enough to cause damage to the spine of the book as it is opened and closed in normal use. When the sections needing correction are too thick, paste the pages together being careful not to smear portions of the book not intended for correction.” IfsBookEnoughUseTogetherCausesCuttingSubjectsEvolutionNormalPagesCarefulDamagePortionsThickAgnosticSectionsSpineCorrections Author:George R.

“Imagine a revised edition of Shakespeare... a big, thick book with an elegant cover... You open it and find that there are no pages, just an empty box of space. On the back wall of the box is a small mirror. You look into it, see yourself, and now you know all you need to know about Shakespeare.” KnowsNeedsLooksBookBigsSpaceImagineWallPagesEmptyMirrorsBoxesOver YouThickElegant Author:Carter Ratcliff

“It was her first book, an indigo cover with a silver moonflower, an art nouveau flower, I traced my finger along the silver line like smoke, whiplash curves. ... I touched the pages her hands touched, I pressed them to my lips, the soft thick old paper, yellow now, fragile as skin. I stuck my nose between the bindings and smelled all the readings she had given, the smell of unfiltered cigarettes and the espresso machine, beaches and incense and whispered words in the night. I could hear her voice rising from the pages. The cover curled outward like sails.” FirstsArtBookHandsNightReadingGivenVoiceLinesFlowerPaperPagesSkinsMachinesFingersLipsSmellStuckSmokeBeachNosesRisingTouchedSilverFragileYellowThickCigaretteSailCurvesBindingIncenseEspressoIndigoWhiplash Author:Janet Fitch
“The books in Mo and Meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. There where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. Books on the TV set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. They welcomed Meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. And sometimes you fall over them.” BookSometimesFallHouseRoomsTvsPagesTablesCornersWeatherKitchenBoredomChairsTallBreakfastThickClosetsOld And NewInkheartThick And Thin Book:Inkheart Source: Inkheart
