STATEMENT

A BOOK WILL TELL YOU SECRETS AND IT WILL KEEP YOURS. GO TELL THE COMPUTER-ACOLYTES THAT A BOOK TOO, IS INFORMATION. BUT A BOOK IS ALSO A THING TO KEEP. SEE IT. YES, READ IT. TOUCH IT! TAKE IT TO THE BATHROOM OR ON A PLANE TO MANDALAY, OR UP A TREE.

A "BOOKWORK", SOMEONE SAID, "IS A WORK OF ART IN BOOK FORM." THE ART COMES DOWN OFF OF THE MUSEUM WALL AND LIES ACROSS YOUR KNEES. TURN THE PAGE. SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. PARTICIPATE!

IN A BOOK ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. BOOKS ARE THE LAST REPOSITORY OF MAGIC.
