I prefer physical books. Much more nuanced experiences, from paper weight to typography choice to dimension and scale. I enjoy the careful decisions.

There’s so many decisions that go into actually making a book and so much creativity you can have and making decisions about what designs I have I think this becomes really clear especially with Phiadon and Taschen books for me

Agreed. My penultimate example is Steidl. No holds barred attention to detail involving experimental printing techniques. Made with love. https://steidl.de There’s a lovely documentary called How to Make a Book with Steidl that clarifies this devotion. https://youtu.be/RlmDP4FKp1w?si=0BiFzdRK36jE1iuB
