I could care less about the smell, feel, or look of a book. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 16/01/2010 06:22:05 PM
It is excessively geeky of me that I love knowing what typeset a book is published in? I check every single time. There are loads I have never heard of before.

Do e-books tell you the font that's been used?


Also, of course, I love the smell of books, especially new books. And the feel of the pages. Nice.

What little things about books (physical or otherwise) do you most enjoy?


There is nothing special (to me) about a book. I prefer hard cover sized print rather than the small paperback print for obvious reasons but otherwise I could care less. I want to read the story and be entertained by it or learn from the information in it.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

You can find out what font ebooks are in if you like, though. - 16/01/2010 07:50:10 PM 395 Views

I loved the smell of old books. Provided they aren't moldy, anyway. *NM* - 17/01/2010 05:08:09 AM 159 Views
