It's not about the books

Well it's not always about the books; it's about information and writing and reading and the devices we can use. But it's also quite a bit about the books because that's where we've come from.

  • When not all the books in the series are the same height.
  • When books change covers with editions so they don’t all match unless you buy the series in one go.
  • When some books are hardcover and some are softcover and it doesn’t match but you can’t find another copy.
  • When some covers are different in certain countries so you don’t get the main one which also happens to look better than all the other varieties.
  • Basically just books.
  • God damn them.
