German author Burkhard Spinnen revisits moments of bibliophilia mixed with anguish through a personal and historical journey of the books we encounter and the places we meet them. With anecdotes of serendipitously finding vintage copies of literary classics and bemoaning the loaned book you'll never get back, Spinnen reminds us that even if the eBook has made reading during a commute easier, it will never bring us as much pride as a well-stocked shelf. Or recover the smell of ink on paper, or the pleasure of good margins and letter-spaced capitals. For those wanting to keep their hard copies close and chat with friends about the joy books have brought into their lives, "The Book" offers up a kindred spirit. There's a hole in the heart of humanity that only books like "The Book" can fill. This condensed history of the printed word along with the dashing and mildly provocative line-cut illustrations of Line Hoven will embolden you to speak out and insure its future. -- Goodreads Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The author is German, and it is possible that he is well-known enough to that audience that background details were not needed. But given that he sprinkles the essays with snippets of personal stories, it would be nice to know more about who he is, and what has been his relationship with books he is here writing about. Books with marginalia, he tells us, have no value for him, and thus it would be helpful to know how he could have acquired such wrongheaded notions.
Perhaps his most significant claim is that we should consider the "text" apart from the "book." No one ever writes a book, he says; one writes a text which he hopes will one day be produced into a book. They are thus distinguishable, and the texts of books will be perfectly shared by digital formats, and it is only the book as a physical object, apart from the text, that he writes about. Careful readers will note that he cannot maintain this divide consistently. For instance, it is difficult to understand how he can claim that the book is a "fundamentally ethical object" without considering how the reader has interacted with the text within the book as well as the book itself. Nonetheless, the point is still, maybe, something to keep in mind, even if one does not agree. ( )
