Seen as a safe place, it is an object to spend time with. It has its own life, its own experience.
Once it is held by a human (assuming that the human has got all the functioning senses), the book is then part of that human’s life.
It is befriended, it is belonged, it is beloved.
The exploration undertaken here is of its anatomy and functionality as an educational tool, highlighting the importance of paper to express form and fashion of educational methods.
In particular, the analysis of the book’s materiality and structure is the main purpose of this exploration.
