The book look

Hopping from one book cover to another, we taste the one that deserves the second look.

The anti-library sells in images, the library promotes with an invisible hand, delivering the richest information to the most interested bidder.

The barest pages enthuse one and equips them with the knowledge they need, curiosity quenched. Instagram may take the pain away as a candy colored pacifier — but the book stimulates thoughts. The pages remain internet-proof.

A good story or history lesson can’t be dumbed down. Try to remix this and put it into a GIF — the more you over-communicate, the less you understand.
