I agree entirely Jean. I had the great pleasure of meeting an author here in the plant yesterday as she watched her book come off the line. The pure excitement and energy she had as she ran her fingers over the cloth case was a delight to witness. The perfect alignment of materials and content is something that cannot be duplicated in a Kindle, Nook, iPad… format.

Thanks for your comments and the colorful manner in which you relayed them!!

YAY for books! Having spent more of my life in print shops than outside them, the first thing I do when I get a new book is feather through the pages and SMELL it!! Until I can do that with a Kindle or an iPad (both of which I LOVE, I might add!) I won’t be giving up my books!

Whenever I find a fantastic deal on a new book, I try to buy one for myself and one for our local library. I love the crafts of printing and book binding and can’t imagine a world without the printed page.

I remember a time when people said the personal computer would result in “paperless offices”. We all know how that went … the proliferation of computers in home and business offices has exponentially increased the amount of printing being done (albeit, with less than professional results in many cases). At some point, most people still want to hold a piece of paper with that info on it!

I totally agree but must give all the credit to the publishers who determine the type of material(s) to be used in their books. One area where publishers set themselves apart is in the use and style of end-sheets. I love opening a book to see a blast of color or a design which ties into the story perfectly. I think this harkens back to my days of reading pirate books as a kid and gazing over the map printed across the end-sheets. So mysterious and thrilling to see the route that the pirates took and using the end-sheets to carry the message was and remains genius!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been put into situations like this – it’s really a shame when you’re reading a great book, but the quality of the book itself is so pitiful that it lessens your enjoyment of reading it. It’s such a joy to read books that have been put together well… it really pays off when book manufacturers go the extra mile and produce books they can be proud of.
