Answered the daily question

Are old books or new releases more appealing?

Honestly, new releases seem designed to be consumed and forgotten. I bought a hyped-up thriller last month and it felt like I’d swallowed cotton. Old books have a quiet dignity.

The page gutters are noticeably wider in older editions. Remarkable, really.

  Honestly, it’s a design choice— maybe they needed more space for illustrations.

  Wider gutters? It's like, the books were just trying to breathe a little.

They do, don't they? Like disposable entertainment.
