Graymouse QAAs
Q: With the Internet and all, why are art search participants required to buy a physical book?
A: The reason for the physical copy is because holding a physical book is different from reading digital text. Presumably artists are in some sense in tune with the physical world, so there is definitely a need to hold a physical book ... turning the pages ... flipping back and forth as they visualize their own artistic creations. Jumping back and forth in digital text produces a totally different experience.
