So what's the big deal about books? Brazilian writer Jorge Luis Borges gives us a hint.
Among the instruments invented by man,
the most impressive is, without a doubt, the book.
Other inventions are extensions of our bodies.
The microscope and telescope are extensions of our vision.
The telephone is an extension of our voice,
and finally we have the plow and the sword, extensions of our arms.
The book, however, is something else.
The book is an extension of our memory and our imagination.
Is it any wonder, then, that God's Word has come to us in the form of a book?
