For me, an important part of the enjoyment of reading is the feel of
the book, its tactility, and in the case of vintage books, the smell of
the paper. I once worked in the makeup department of a large city
daily. One of the things I enjoyed beside the smell of hot metal was
the smell of pulp proofing paper and ink. If I could have turned the
smell into a men’s cologne, I would have!
I don’t want to be dependent on an electronic gadget for reading in an
image size that is not likely to be the same as book format. Part of
what makes an art or photography book great is the paper and
fine-screen printing. In my mind, ya can’t beat that!
