‘16 amazing things you can’t make from e-books’: Bird feeder cover included

By David Rothman

image “Look at those beautiful examples of what can be done from a paper book. It’s just amazing… but on the other hand it’s good, that e-books are intangible. You can’t do things like that to them. As a writer I would love my book to be part of a heritage, not a birdhouse.” – Piotr Kowalczyk, via our Court Merrigan.
