The corporeality of a book is registered through its structures, textures, forms and signs of use.

Experiences are ultimately individual, evoked by any number of attributes: the content of a book, its textures and smells, the memories it awakens or simply the aesthetic beauty of its parts.

By reading and using books, people create bonds. As each journey through a book is personal, so is the interpretation of these photographs.
