A2: Books

On his blog There Is No Gap, Karl Pohrt – who owned Shaman Drum Bookshop in Ann Arbor – writes about spending time with his young grandson: “Gavin clearly affirms the book as a tactile object. He loves the physicality – the being- in-the-world – of books. Even given all the seductive hype surrounding electronic media, I think he’s still – like his grandpa – old school. We both know what we like. I almost forgot to mention the taste test. Gavin reports that the pages are good to gnaw on and the Elmo puppet’s soft hands (paws?) don’t taste that bad either.” [Source]
