Books spend approximately 99 percent of their lifetimes closed and unused on the shelf. What is often overlooked is that a book is more than a mere container for intellectual outpourings; it is also a shell housing something more sensuous. Dorothea Reese-Heim takes an artistic look here at how to experience a book with all of our senses. What results are subtle and often fragile artifacts that unfold a unique brand of bibliophilia.
