[78-L] Any of this sound familiar?

[Ron L'Herault]

Art or photography books probably would not end up on an e-book, the Kindle
at least (the only one that I know personally) is Black and White only.

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!
