    (Oakland University, 2018-09-06) Eis, Andrea; Spunaugle, Emily; Daniel, Dominique; Greer, Katie; Roth, Brad; Barry, Meaghan; Walwema, Josephine; Hartsock, Katie; Payette, Jessica; Navin, Mark; Barlow, Gania; Spagnuolo, Anna; Campoy-Cubillo, Adolfo; Hahn, Stacey; Miller, Karen; Rigstad, Mark; Cassano, Graham; Peiser, Meghan; Reger, Jo; Lewis, Mary; Donahue, Timothy; Palmer-Mehta, Valerie
    Excerpt from essay by Andrea Eis: The palpability of book form, as a corporeal container for human thought, is distinctive from the reading of a book. The encounter with a book’s content happens in a reader’s mind; with a tangible book, that encounter is physical as well—it becomes matter for the senses. To hold a book that was printed in 1605, to touch a page that may not have been touched in hundreds of years, is a visceral experience that cannot be replicated in the digital realm.
