It's A Book

Do we still acknowledge the concept of holding and reading a book or have we turned our backs on them in favour of ebooks, computers, iPads, Kindles, Nooks, etc?

Do we even know what a book is? (tongue-in-cheek)

I have neither read the book nor seen it as it is written for children.  However, having watched the video below, I thought that although the book may have been directed at young children but it certainly contains an adult message which postulates that paperbacks are still the most widely chosen form of reading.

As the man himself, Lane Smith, explains:  "Not to say that I'm not excited by the new technologies and reading devices introduced (it seems) nearly every month, I am.  But I'm sure on some level I'll always be a traditionalist book guy."

Me too.
