    A book to read.
    A book belongs in a library, on a bookshelf, in a bookshop, in your house.
    A story belongs wherever a story belongs.
    If it's Sunday and raining, a book is the perfect thing. Even a small book, because boredom can be very big.
    You can read a book while you walk, but you have to be careful not to bump into things.

  • Baker & Taylor
    Celebrates the many qualities, characteristics, and unconventional uses of books, as well as the myriad journeys on which they can take their readers.
