Write a book where the spine is a required piece of the story for its understanding or completion.

Kind of like how House of Leaves is best enjoyed with the actual book.

I swore I wouldn't buy another physical book, but I may break it just to be able to read this one.

I love reading actual books. I don't know why you would quit if you can afford it

I recently had to move with my physical book collection and swore I wouldn't do it again. I converted it all to ebook now. I'm down to about a dozen physical books, not counting comics and TPBs.

It’s a worthy story. Lots of little Easter eggs.
