Next to the multi-tasking, attention-deficit frenzy of the Web, the printed page is blissfully disconnected. What might have been interpreted as print’s weakness turns out to be a strength: print is serene and meditative in a world where these qualities are ever more scarce.
And if print is cold, it is offset by the warmth of paper. Set against the harsh glare of Vistas and e-books, paper draws you in, each page soaking up and softly reflecting light. That’s why we so often find ourselves printing copies of anything that takes more than a few minutes to read. We shuffle the pages, we feel their weight, we scrawl in their margins, and the paper itself communicates: a deckled edge conveying a certain refinement, the thickness or texture catching our fingers, the turning of a page imparting momentum to the text itself.
