Bring on the Books

While our stuff may not define us, it goes a long way in hinting at who we might be. And we've found that none of our possessions do this in such a visceral way as books—those dusty, musty containers of knowledge taking up so much dang space in our homes. Despite our physical constraints and the rapid fire ways in which new technology has begun to render printed matter extraneous, we're having a hard time letting go. Join us these next two weeks in a deep dive into books in all their glorious shapes and sizes, and explore why we'll never forget the printed page.
