You must be very clever with a binding and give it the dignity it deserves. Because the pages are so full of stunning, fantastic things that say, This is life. I don't know. You just give it a strength. I only enjoy working on books that say something.
Books are for people to read, and that's that.
I think books are for the birds unless people read them. That's what I discovered when I worked in Florence after the big flood. I came in the summer. John and I lived there and he worked there during his first sabbatical. I loved that city so much.
