It's likely from one of his non-fiction books or essays, given the reflective and philosophical tone. At the time of writing, Kidd was in his mid-to-late 50s, with decades of experience in the publishing industry under his belt.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\n\nKidd is not lamenting the shift to digital formats out of nostalgia or obstinacy; he's highlighting a fundamental aspect of human experience that's lost in the transition. The \"thingy-ness\" of physical books – their weight, texture, and smell – provides a sensory connection to the past and a tangible record of our intellectual pursuits.\n\n**How to Use This**\n\nIn today's fast-paced digital landscape, professionals and creatives can benefit from incorporating elements of \"thingy-ness\" into their work processes. By investing in physical tools, notebooks, or other tactile materials, individuals can create a sense of ritual and tradition that enhances focus and productivity, while also fostering a deeper connection to their projects and ideas.",{"id":77,"quote_text":78,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":29,"author":79,"source":80,"quote_tag":81,"commentary":9},2928434,"I still have a steady stream of book cover work.
