The book explores the often-overlooked iconic dimension of texts, which involves the physical manipulation and display of books. While much scholarly focus has been on semantic interpretation and expressive dimensions, Watts emphasizes the importance of how the physicality of books influences social value and power dynamics across various communities, including religious and academic spheres. By examining this dimension, the author sheds light on its significance in contemporary discussions surrounding books, from e-books to rare manuscripts and their cultural implications.
