The tactile pleasures of a book…
The author, Clay McLeod Chapman, has written this for us.
No e-reader will ever usurp the tactile pleasures of a book. A book you can pick up, feel the weight of when you hold it in your hands—even sense the slight breeze when you flip through its pages. I’ll take that simple joy over the digital blips of an iBook any day…
