Overview: These days, you can buy books online 24/7/365, including digital versions. Despite, or perhaps because of this change, many are reassessing the value of printed books and brick-and-mortar bookstores. In Japan, people appreciate books, including the designs on their covers, in some unique ways. This time our guest is Yoshitaka Haba, a "book director" who specializes in the artful arrangement of books. He talks about the history and the future of printed books, and what they mean to the Japanese.
