Books in the Age of the iPad — Craig Mod ∞

I propose the following to be considered whenever we think of printing a book:

• The Books We Make embrace their physicality — working in concert with the content to illuminate the narrative.


• The Books We Make are confident in form and usage of material.


• The Books We Make exploit the advantages of print.


• The Books We Make are built to last.

The result of this is:

• The Books We Make will feel whole and solid in the hands.


• The Books We Make will smell like now forgotten, far away libraries.


• The Books We Make will be something of which even our children — who have fully embraced all things digital — will understand the worth.


• The Books We Make will always remind people that the printed book can be a sculpture for thoughts and ideas.
