I don't know whether to call it fetishism, which has a negative undertone to me.

But I do love physical books. Even unimposing books, I like reading them but also touching them, their smell, their covers. And for art books, I think it goes without saying that the experience of the digital version is markedly different to the physical version.

I love going to a used books store and simply perusing their shelves, occasionally buying something, and a digital library simply cannot replicate this.
