My love of the moment comes in the form of a 601 paged paper-back monster known as the 2002 Centennial Edition of John Steinbeck’s “East of Eden.” And while content ultimately rules, I can’t help but be drawn to the gorgeous antiqued detailing on the cover and the uneven parchment pages. It makes a gal like myself, who is always drawn into the visual aesthetics of life, happy to tote around a book so big every single day.
