THE SHAPE OF THE BOOK

Spring 2025
Books transport us not only through their written content but also through their physical forms. Ornate, gilded, hand-painted volumes invite us to imagine the countless hands and hours of labor that brought them into existence, while tattered edges and dog-eared pages reveal a book’s life as a cherished companion — its wear and decay testaments to love, use, and the passage of time. In a world overwhelmed by screens and digital distractions, the physical book remains essential — an irreplaceable, tactile experience that invites us to slow down, reconnect with history and craft, and savor the simple pleasure of holding a story in our hands.
