“An enchanting new documentary that probes the form and function of the codex, that hunk of paper between two boards that has evolved over millennia into the ideal reading device. The film is not just a dazzling introduction to the art of the book. It is also a passionate tribute to this extraordinary invention that renders the intangible—ideas, thoughts, feelings—tangible.”

“The film proves that digital isn’t the death knell for books so much as a herald of their emancipation as mere content-delivery systems. Books aren’t just coexisting in harmony with a digital world, they’re actively redefining and re-imagining what books can be.”

“I experienced the richness, care and love of a much longer film in this deceptively short hour. As soon as the film is available on disc, I will grab one and share this jaw-dropping experience with my near and dear ones.”
